[plug] linux only system - need advice

[itmail]

Hi all,

I've finally made up my mind, and I'm going to kill my windows partition 
(currently dual booting windows 2000 and SuSE 7.1)

now the only problems I have with this are my printer, my digital camera and 
a couple of applications I can't seem to find linux equivilents of (I'm sure 
someone else has tho )

Firstly my printer - Epson Stylus Colour 580 ***USB ONLY*** (I wasn't 
thinking straight when I bought this) how do I use this? (current kernel is 
2.2.18 but I will upgrade to SuSE 7.2 and kernel 2.4.4 as soon as this is 
released) how do I use this? if at all possible?

DIgital Camera - I have a Kodak DC 3200, is it possible to use this through 
the connection supplied (serial cable) or do I need to buy a Compact Flash 
Card reader? Im thinking of doing this anyway but a temporary solution would 
mean I could kill windows sooner

As for applications, does anyone know of any Linux Equivilents to Visio and 
Powerpoint (im sure something compatible with powerpoint is available I am 
however a bit more scepticle about visio)

All advice and information will be most appreciated

TIA

Quintin
