I looked at the first few pieces of software you mentioned and it looks like
you could do those things in Linux. Photoshop, AutoCAD and Fireworks
are reported to run under Wine. Of course there's no need to use
Photoshop - several major film studios use Gimp, which is very very
similar to Photoshop. Similarly, there are a few decent CAD programs
on Linux, each with a different focus depending on what you use it for.
AutoCAD is of course the industry standard, so you might choose to
use AutoCAD through Wine, but one of the other CAD programs might
actually fit your needs better.

As far as FrontPage, I once flew out to set up a system for a webmaster.
Walking in to his office, I saw an unopened copy of FrontPage on his desk.
Without saying a word, I picked it up, walked over to the Window, threw FP
out the window, then sat down and started talking about the cam system
we were working on. Could you use FP on Linux - I don't know, all I can
say about a professional webmaster using FrontPage for a professional
site at all is .
