Hmmm.. The last Unix version for Photoshop was for Silicon Graphics
and SUN. It was last released in August 6th, 1996. It was version
3.01.
I doubt you will see a version for any Unix platform let alone Linux
for quite some time.
The current version of Photoshop is 5.02.
Note that SGI and Sun are neither Intel based processor systems and
porting may or may not be a problem. However seeing that they don't
have a more current version and have not released anything new in
over 3 years I'd say its just wishfull thinking.
