free CS2 and studio 8 alternatives!

free CS2 and studio 8 alternatives!
ok, photoshop, illustrator,dreamweaver are covered by GIMP, inkscape, and NVU, respectively.

alternatives for flash and possibly acrobat are needed (but i can always do pages-->export-->pdf) anything even BETTER than inkscape would be super cool!! (open source X11 linux stuff just doesnt have the elegance nd ease of use of a natie cocoa app)

thanks
