Hi Eckchard,
I've just arrived at your blog, and i loved it. Maybe you can answer my question:
Are you using open source softwares in Linux for all your design works? if not, what programs in Windows/Mac OS X environment are irreplaceable for your works? why?
I'm going to change all of my proprietary softwares to open source solutions -GIMP, Blender, Inkscape, etc.-, but it's hard to move on if you don't know the goods and the bads of them.
Thanks for providing good contents at your blog and sorry for my bad English, I'm Indonesian.

Have you had a look at MyPaint? - A truly promising art/sketching program.

I was able to successfully patch & compile gimp-2.6.6 with the gimp-painter patch. Very nice addition to the toolset...

So exciting that Linux is finally becoming a viable platform for serious design work! So much so that there is a community beginning to form. I visited your blog when it had just one or two posts on it, and I thought that it wouldn't hold out, but visitng now fills my heart with joy, and my head with many helpful tips!
Thank you.

Lieber Eckhard,
das ist ein excellenter Blog zu einem wunderbaren Thema, welches in unserem Land nirgends so gut behandelt wird wie bei Dir. Aber warum erscheint es nicht auf Deutsch? Schämst Du Dich für Deine Muttersprache? Am fehlenden Interessente seitens der Leser kann es wohl nicht liegen... das ist echt schade. :-(

Hey Eckhard,
i'm reading your blog regularly and wanna thank you for collecting news of open source progs for grafics and design.
i searched your blog for a software called "Alchemy" (al.chemy.org) but i couldn't find an entry. probably you might like this prog - you can call it a tool for your imagination ;)
i discoverd this software via the durian porject (http://durian.blender.org/news/tutorial-painting-time-lapse-by-david-revoy/)
unfortunately, i couldn't install it on my ubuntu 64 bit (even with the right java version it doesn't work) but on my mac it works. maybe you find a way to install it.
bye
sam
area42 # 14. September 2009, 19:50
first time i heard about Alchemy. Basiclly i'm not a fan of Java apps. For my purposes GIMP is very fine and the 2.7.x comes with long awaited features.

It's kind of sad how the apps for linux are starting to get better but the actual distro aren't that good. All they do is decide which GUI to choose then just plug it into their distro. GNOME doesn't seem to be getting better at all; since 2.26 nothing has changed, their still using Totem, while VLC is much better. Like I commented in the "Image Utilities for Ubuntu Linux" Post:
"
What Ubuntu really needs is a better desktop environment, not KDE or GNOME, but something that is completely redesigned. Preferably one made with the help of some graphic designers; that is part of the reason why Mac OS X looks so cool, Apple hires designers not just programmers.
THAT is what we need in the Linux community: graphic designers, programmers, and hardware specialists working TOGETHER to make a User Interface that is better than Mac or Windows'. Everyone capable of making a good GUI seems to just work on themes or they branch off into other projects (like Linux mint).
"
No one seems to work together anymore on Linux distros. There are a bunch of Linux programmers out there yet GUI projects like 10/GUI aren't being made because the designers and programmers don't work together. Does anyone else realize this?

One thing I forgot to say is though I dislike KDE, I do admire that tried to change KDE 4. I still don't like it, but at least they tried.
