Thanks :)
I don't know any other art student using Linux too (except my younger brother).
It might be hard for artist to use Linux since lack of software like Photoshop (Mac works though, so you can be artist on *nix).
Fortunately there is software for things I'm interested in. I'd say if you into 3d, photography or video editing you can use Linux.
I probably should write blog post about this stuff :)
