Adobe Photoshop CS2 on Kubuntu Gutsy with Wine 0.9.54

Supposedly Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2 now works on any Linux distribution using Wine. Here is how I made it work on my machine:

1. Open a terminal and paste the following commands one by one – hit ENTER after each one .

• wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
• sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
• sudo apt-get update

2. If you do not have Wine installed already, go to Add/Remove and search for Wine and install it. If Wine is already installed simply use the updates available in the systray.

3. Hit ALT+F2 and paste the following command:

• wine iexplore http://appdb.winehq.com/

Install it.

4. Search on Google for the Tahoma font with the following string:

• tahoma filetype:ttf

Save it on your desktop, then move it to the Wine fonts folder (full path -> /home/yourusername/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts).

5. Adobe Photoshop CS2 is now ready to be installed.

This is ofc not legal everywhere (anywhere?) so I don’t know if I should be typing this but here is a working Adobe Photoshop CS2 – Link (torrent)
