Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Photoshop - You can run it with Wine (A Windows Emulator for Linux, basically) OR you can download and learn GIMP, which is basically a free Photoshop for Linux.

Web Design - Once again, you can run Macromedia Dreamweaver/Flash MX with Wine, OR you can download the program Quanta for KDE, which I've heard is really nice. You can also try Bluefish, which does not have a WYSIWYG like Dreamweaver, but is still excellent.

... not impressed... i could have putted Activex thingies(which sure are a copy of g desklets ...)and the xyz bar which is a thingie like the circular scroll comand of OSX...

if i had lots of time to spare i would try linux to unlock the 64bit potential, but im afraid it will be faster to just wait the official 64bit windows...

The beast goes back to the store tough, either to get a better fan or to stay there and me to get the money back(their choice, i really dont care, it sure was a depression buy) think its running too hot even without overclocking.
it tops on 75ºwhen uneder load, maximum temp on amd specs is 70º so that means somethings wrong and even if it is pretty fast righ now (and it is faster than the adrenalines at 1/10th of price...) i havnt seen him perform at its best and i dont need that amount of power at home anyways...

Huh? ActiveX has absolutely nothing to do with gDesklets...

Linux by nature is faster than Windows, especially the filesystems such as Reiser. You can get a 64 bit version of SuSE 9.0 for like $60 for the Home version.

i meant faster because of the installation time, and specially the learning curve...

and i meant a copy because ive seen activex "desklets" that do the same(weather, news, clock,players,the trash bin,whatever...) and i bet linux introduced that concept frist...

You had to compile a driver in Xandros? Odd... usually they have every binary driver in the world included.
