All that said, when you're serious about photography and raw you should seriously get away from Linux and The Gimp.
Why would you write this?
he wrote it because it's true.
So you're both saying that it's not possibile to produce good photos using Linux and Gimp?
I'm saying that the OS' of choice are OS X and Windows and the core tool is Photoshop. And in the communities where they are used (professional photography and graphics arts) they are the expected base tools of the trade. Because of that, there is a lot more support. A lot more 3rd party software. A lot more knowledge.
Linux would be okay for such if Adobe released Photoshop for Linux. But they don't. (It's very low use generally for desktop environments and bare existence amongst photographers doesn't make for a good investment).
