The apps I really want are a problem.

How true. If there was a Linux version of Photoshop, I'd be gone. As it is, both our internet boxes run Ubuntu/Firefox and are fine.

Quicken is one of my concerns, but I’ve read online it can be done. I use Corel Paintshop Pro, and I haven’t found yet where it can be migrated. Also, I tried Family Tree Maker, and while it installed, some DLLs weren’t available at boot and I wasn’t comfortable with it. While there are Linux compatible genealogy apps available, I’d be missing FTM’s access to CD data which I really need.

So, I’ll likely continue with a dual-boot PC. But I have to enlarge the small Linux partition I have, first.

Install the Gimp. Or install Gimpshop. Its a free photo editing tool as powerful as Photoshop.
