Moving to Linux & Open Source Software…Cutting softwar
Been using Ubuntu for quite a while & Inkscape & Gimp are excellent alternatives to the usual Adobe expensive offerings.
One limitation is cutting software until I found this:

Haven’t tried it yet as rebuilding on a different version of Linux but it looks promising, maybe of use to somebody.

very good… had an ink scape pdf file not long ago. Something was wrong with the RGB bitmaps, maybe missing embedded profile or something along them lines as it was faint.
But nothing else wrong.
I am keeping an eye on Raspberry Pi project
http://www.raspberrypi.org/I suspect you could run it all on the $25 computer when they get them made

…then plot it all on a £8K plotter!!
Not hit any problems with Inkscape or Gimp yet but then again I’m not taking the files out of the Linux environment & into windows to put through Adobe or Corel or a windows RIP.
Just trying to escape the perpetual software upgrade cycle that goes along with Adobe (Corel prices are so much more realistic).

My adobe licenses may suffer if they go ahead…
