STANDARD SOFTWARE COMPATABILITY

["Eddy Wurm" <edw@total.net>]

Dear Debra & Ian Murdock,

    I am a potential user of Linux and am looking to buy an IBM clone PC.
I've just checked your site and have not found answers to the following.

    Are standard programs like Adoble Graphics Studio, QuakXpress,
LightWave, ...etc., which are available for Microsoft and Mac OS, also
compatible with Linux?  Are Linux developers working to make the different
packages (Debian, Red Hat and Caldera) transparent to each other?

Sincerely,
Jakob
