Linux and photography do mix
Photographer Shannon Smith wrote a very interesting post on his use of Linux for photography.
Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever met a professional photographer who didn’t use a Mac, but Shannon goes to great lengths to demonstrate that a Linux system – in his case, running Ubuntu – can do everything that a pro might need.
“I wanted to post this thread to hopefully dispel some of the more common Linux myths out there. For most people, the thought of running Linux ranks somewhere below cutting your own arm of with a rusty knife and dental surgery without novacaine. This really couldn’t be further from the truth. I’ve been running linux for the past 3 years, and many people I know have switched.”
