the Graphical Artist Linux Guide "Greetz from Planet Haram" by Mohannad Faried and others yet to come
Introduction "why am i doing this ?"
ever since i started to tinker around with linux, it was very important for me to have a solid understanding about how do i go about doing the things i already do on windows, since my major is architecture, and a have this artistic streak "well i hope it is an artistic streak!", plus my freelance work as a graphical designer, with some occasional web designing, it was quite important to know the ropes on linux. right now i intend to share what i know with you! , you poor soul! :)
