Last year, when the Walt Disney Co.’s feature animation unit, in Burbank, Calif., announced that it was using Linux for digital animation work,
speculation grew that Adobe Systems Inc. would finally port its products to Linux. To this day, however, Adobe has done no such thing. Rather than
wait, Disney, along with two other motion picture animation studios (which declined to be named for this article), decided to jointly fund the
development of a Windows-to-Linux porting solution. The idea: develop technology using the Wine emulator to run Adobe Photoshop on Linux.
