> Can anyone suggest a good Linux equivalent to Adobe Illustrator?
There are lots of programs that try and do this sort of thing; here's a few
you might want to take a look at. Depending on what you want to do, a
different tool might be appropriate. I'm not totally familiar with all of
Illustrator's features, but here are some vector-graphics drawing programs:
karbon (used to be killustrator, then kontour; part of KOffice) - it's come a
long way. Seems pretty Illustrator-like.
sodipodi - it has kind of a GIMP-like interface and looks like it does a lot.
OpenOffice's Draw - If you just want to do one simple image, and don't want to
worry about learning a new program or installing anything new, it might be
easiest. It's not totally full-featured, though.
If you're looking for more of a diagram editor (like for flowcharts and floor
plans and things), xfig or dia or qcad might be more appropriate.
I hope this helps!
