We use a lot of Adobe software at the University. The software includes Illustrator.
Is there a virtual way to run Mac or Windows software on a Fedora system?
Is there a good alternative to Illustrator on Fedora? How good is gimp?

There's always WINE but it can be very hit or miss. Another option would be to run Windows in a virtual machine.

That's really two separate questions. I'm not a graphic artist so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the alternatives would be more like:
From Adobe -> To Linux
Photo Shop -> GIMP Illustrator -> Inkscape

Do you know where the instructions to do this are available?

I will look at Inkscape.
Thanks, Richard.

There's to many ways to make a complete list here with instructions, but I personally use VirtualBox[1]. It's relatively easy to setup and the performance is pretty good on modern hardware. They have a yum repository to make installation[2] and updates easy.
The link is for version 3.2 but just replace "3.2" in the install instructions with "4.0" to get the latest released version. I haven't installed on a clean system for a while so I assume it pulls in kernel-headers and kernel-devel when you install. If not you'll need to install those packages as well. It needs them to build the kernel module.

Thanks, Richard. I will have to try it out.
