You mean you want to install windows on it and run those things, or you want to know if those windows programs will run under the Linux you got pre-installed?

[A CA Guy]

Wanted to know if Linux can operate a windows program? Like office 2000, Coral Draw and so forth.

I haven't a clue. The Linux came with the computer and though I bought it because of a great sale, I won't be using it soon because I am having the home carpeted soon.

I have a lot of Win based programs I need to use (PhotoShop, Illustrator, Quark, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, etc.). Any chance of these working if I install Linux? I couldn't afford to buy all new of all of the above, and I need 'em all.
