just wondering .... when will coreldraw be available on linux?
today, corel is the only application which holds me back from switching
Corel could get Draw operating under WINE they have before. X4 gets a garbage rating on WINE, doesn't install.

It only has 3 votes of need... Might require a log in but you can vote to get apps a priority and you can donate cash.
I suspect if I were easy it would still run under WINE on Linux.
me Too looking the answer for the same !!!
I am a graphic designer and using Corel Draw x4 and Adobe Photoshop CS4 on un-secure n ever crashing Windows XP 32bit. Is there any way we can use these softwares on Linux safely and securely?
As of now (I have not attempted it, yet, and don't have any plans to do so in the near future), the only way to start to get CGS onto a Linux system is to purchase a copy of "Crossover" (IIRC the name) and then get a copy of IE 7 to run under Crossover and then attempt to load CGS under Crossover. I do not know what problems you may encounter, but Crossover is an enhanced WINE for Linux and so far, they have a lot of MS Windows apps running under Crossover, include some versions of MS Office. for more info, google "Linux" "Crossover" "Windows Applications"

I use CorelDRAW X4 and Photoshop without problems, no crashes or freezes. So, the most important thing is to have a "clean" operating system. On Linux you don't have problem with virus and other issues. Unfortunately, Linux is an small market and I don't see a Linux version in the near future
So, more than a year have passed and the CorelDraw still haven't a native linux version This encouraged a lot of projects successful that opens cdr (developed by reversing engineering), are linux native and they have low cpu usage! Look carefully to users linux. We are growing fast and contaminating everyone around us. We love use native programs (we don't like to adapt other systems programs) and we know how persuade our bosses to support our needs. Even the movies industry are migrating for linux solutions, why press companies not? Think about it carefully. The new generation is learning more linux each day, soon this system will be in lot of press companies.
