Photoshop Plugins and Gtalk for Linux
One common complaint from Windows enthusiasts is that image editor on Linux, The GIMP, is somehow lacking compared with Photoshop. Those people will be happy to know you can now use Photoshop plugins in The GIMP on Linux. The GIMP really is a fantastic tool for both Windows and Linux, so give it a go now!
Another piece of good news for Linux users is the announcement of the Tapioca Google Talk-compatible client. While Google has made their IM network available to people of all OSes by using the Jabber IM protocol and open sourcing their VoIP backend, Tapioca is the first application to provide both for Linux. Awesome!
