Qchem Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Having had more of a think, it would be handy if Linux could run photoshop,illustrator and microsoft office (although OpenOffice does most of the MS stuff OK) natively. It would make my life easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Would be better native though, than having to rely on wine and it not working correctly. Lotus Notes 7 is supposed to have a native Linux client apparently, I can't wait for my company to get it, cos I'd prefer this than using wine and Lotus Notes 6.5.3.

neddie Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I'd just like it to keep out of the way and let me run the applications smoothly and reliably. I'd like my kicker not to die (I know that's the DE, not the OS) and I'd like the applications using sound to play nicely with each other and not block each other (again, apps, not OS). I'd like it to shut down when I tell it to. Simple things. I don't care too much about wobbly windows and semi-transparent glassy stuff cos my hardware wouldn't cope with it anyway. Don't need a 3d interface. What I did like the idea of though was Apple's recent announcement that Leopard will have a built-in revision control system, called the "Time Machine" - instead of just overwriting a text file for example, it'll store the previous version in the repository automatically. So two weeks later you can say "what was that file like before?" and it'll tell you without you ever having knowingly stored it there. That sounds neat.

RVDowning Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Would like it to boot faster. There is no reason that lots of the items brought up at boot time can not be brought up concurrently. Many of these items have no interdependancies. This would dramatically speed up the boot process.

Darkelve Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yes, I would also like it to boot faster... seconds, if possible, not (a whole) minute(s)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
