I think it has been some years since you used Linux Neil?

Have a look at Linux Mint, easy to use, GUI driven and like I said, no virus's or hanging, quick and easy to use with lots of apps.

If I had to use a PC I would probably go for Linux as there is a version of it that looks and feels like Mac OSX (so I’m lead to believe) which of course also UNIX based. The only problem is lack of software, all the good image editing packages are either Mac or Windows.

No Linux vuruses? Not as many as windows, but they do exist. As Linux users are complacent and usually don't have AV, they may be more of a threat.

But the best thing about Linux users is that it is so easy to wind them up

My apologies, Linux is a mighty fine operating system, but only for those who don't have to worry about 100% compatibility with large institutions.

Hi Vic,

If you look at this link **LINK** you will find one of the best image editors available and it's free, it works with windows as well if you download the windows version.

Yes Neil there are some virus's aimed at linux and some of those are pretty bad, but clam will usually take care of them.
