I am thinking of switching from the Windows Operating Platform to something like Linux however I do have some questions..will I still be able to use my software like DreamWeaver, Fireworks, Flash or even the drivers for my components?

I would feel really dippy if I switched platforms only to find none of my programs or devices function.

You might look in to Wine, which allows you to run Windows software on Linux (http://www.winehq.com/). I'm not sure how good it is, because I haven't needed to use it.

It might make sense first to set up a dual-boot harddrive so you can test if your software works with Linux while still keeping Windows just in case.
