I think it's great that you have decided to go for a Ubuntu machine.
All the softwars you mentuioned above have a open source counterpart which
usually works just as well.
To add to the above, a program called Wine is known to run MSOffice2000 and
PSCS2 (in fact, I think even PS CS3) under Linux. As for Acrobat, if you are
talking about the reader, I'm currently using Acrobat Reader 8 on Ubuntu.
And finally, there are lots of good WYSIWYG Web Editors and IDEs in Linux. I
think FrontPage's direct substitute can be Kompozer.

So, don't fret, feel free to enter Ubuntu's world.

Thanks,
Raseel
