As a life long Windows user I am contemplating running Kubuntu on my laptop. After spending countless hours trying to figure things out, I still have some questions before I begin the switch-over.
1) I realize I probably will replace Photoshop with GIMP but what about Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, and other web development tools? Will they work?
2) Does kubuntu recognize .exe files? .zip files? Would I be able to run and install other windows based programs?
3) My laptop is new and from HP. I also have a 128 MB ATI card in it. Will kubuntu be able to recognize the card and display on my screen correctly?
4) I see that XMMS looks like a good media player, but does it support DIVX, Real Audio extensions, etc.?
5) My laptop also has a turion 64 chip. Will that cause any problems?
6) This one is funny... so what happens to my little dedicated windows button on my laptop keyboard?
I appreciate any answers in advance and I hope I don't sound too annoying. I am completely new to Linux based systems (although I remember DOS) and I am excited to get things going.
