I Really Like Wine

I'm on my semi-annual website design kick. At least twice a year I get the bug to dive back into my first geek love. This time, it just happened to coincide with my annual Linux kick, where I grow tired of Windows for whatever reason and decide to give the latest version of Ubuntu a spin (which, btw, Ubuntu 9.10 is incredible and is giving Windows 7 a run for its money).
So, to satisfy my web design unctions, I've installed a Drupal CMS package with the theme, Color Paper. However, the logo.png file that it came with the theme said "Color Paper", and not "Baba Freeman", as I was somehow hoping they'd have included. I needed to make a quick picture to replace the logo file. Being the newly rechristened Linux fanboy that I am, I opened up GIMP and went to work on my tiny file.
10 minutes later I've logged into my Adobe account to download my 4 year old copy of Fireworks 8 I purchased all those years back. I open the .exe with Wine and the install runs perfectly without a hitch. Now I can image edit to my heart's content in Linux and never have to touch the conflaggerated mess that is GIMP.
