Q. I'd like to start working in Linux (Kubuntu) and I'm looking for programs that manage to get all the work I currently do on Adobe Suite in Linux. Can anyone advise me on what programs should I use? Something similar to Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Flash. I can live without Dreamweaver. Thnx!
A. I use Ubuntu. There is a Linux answer for everything except Flash. JavaFX is under rapid development and will offer Flash / SMS Silverlight effects with pure code (no authoring environment yet, but a demo was shown at JavaOne).
You can run the older Flash authoring tool in Linux using a windows emulator called WINe. WINe does not run Adobe Suite.
Gimp = Photoshop. InDesign is krap to begin with. You can do page layouts with Scribus, but let me tell you, Scribus is much like the original Aldus Pagemaker. Inkscape is a capable vector arts program much like Illustrator. I recommend FontyPython for font management.
Since I switched to Linux, I never missed the products you mention but I will add it took some getting used to. But hey, remember back all the time you spent to learn how to make Adobe products perform and apply that time to Linux solutions. Keep a Win box available with a good anti-virus software on it. You'll need to make sure whatever products you produce In Linux from web artwork or downloads doesn't hurt other Window computers. But really, Linux is the faster solution for graphics and programming.

Where can I find Old Hebrew Letters in Vector form?
Q. Im a graphic designer at a t-shirt company and sometimes we do designs for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Occasionally, people request Hebrew Letters in their design. Does anybody know where I can get the Hebrew letters in a Vector format or very very high resolution file?
A. There are Hebrew TrueType/OpenType fonts from Windows, and Mac, and some FreeType fonts for Linux.
Adobe's software have ME ("Middle East") versions that supports writing from right to left, but even the normal versions let use Hebrew fonts (you just have to type from left to right, which shouldn't be a problem if you don't know Hebrew anyway)

What's the best free vector program to vector my little ponies?
Q. Hello I'd really like to start vectoring cartoons(not just MLP) I do have photoshop CS5 but Im having a hard time figuring it out and a lot of other adobe products are way too expensive so does anyone know where I can get a free program that's made to vector/trace art??
A. One vector program that I know of that is free is Inkscape. It is completely free, open source, and available on Win, Mac, and Linux. I've seen posts by brony artists saying they made their picture in inkscape.
Hopethis helps,
Brohoof forever.
