For those who would like to get "Open Source" citizenship :)
During past few years, I have been in touch with many Linux related resources. Here are few from my bookmarks:
1. Some kind of a manual. Contains common answers to Linux newcomers.
URL:www.jediknight.com/~smpoole/wintips.html
2. Another "tutorial". It explains what, where, why, how etc. Also for those who recently have got themselves into *nix systems.
URL:en.tldp.org/HOWTO/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO.html
3. This article contains the list of common used Windows applications and their Linux alternatives (which are in most cases better then their Redmond mates!).

.html
Tip: check outlinuxlinks.com for more resources ;)
4. Most valuable thing if you need to access your Linux partitions from Windows. Currently suported: Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista (both x86 and x64 platform)
URL:www.fs-driver.org/download.html
5. Similar thing to FS-Driver mentioned above, except it's built for accessing your Windows partitions from Linux OSs.
URL:www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=downloads
Tip: for help, read documentation from the menu shown left on their page.
Hope this helped :)
King regards!

yeah, gimp seems to lack drawing shapes such as circles and squares. You may find it easier to get Inkscape (vector drawing program... use with gimp :P )
idk how well it runs but have you tried to run photoshop through wine?
"I've switched to linux recently and didn't regret for a second."
Of course you didn't :) Why would you :) Like I mentioned somewhere in the post, opensource applications are in most cases better than their 'origins', if I can say so...
I've been using Linux since ~1999 and I'm feeling fine at all ^^ I got no problems with that :)
Talking of GIMP... It's not hard as it seems to be :) Try getting more into it and you'll see ;)

It's hard to get used to gimp though. I will have to, I still have so many pics to make :)
