Illustration commercial programs have become bloated, some for many versions ago ceased to be practical by adding features that move away from their original function.
Inkscape has come not only to bring an open source tool, but also is a compact vector illustration program, which uses an open format such as SVG which, despite having some limitations compared to their commercial counterparts, makes his work so great , quickly and with advantages.
Since its inception has used the alpha channel, layers, pressure and other pointer caractgerísticas that were late on other programs.
Although exports to PNG and PDF files only, appears to be sufficient in the current environment, but is missing the ability to handle Pantone, which we know has a high license fee.
In many ways, Inkscape has been a major booster for the adoption of Linux, and to say that the image of distributions and Linux programs owe Inkscape.

Ubuntu can be used on almost anything including Desktops, Business PC’s, Notebooks and many others that are able to support x86 CPU.

The desktop edition is very suitable for the common user and it has almost all the software required to work on it after the installation or the liveCD boot. The Netbook Remix put the netbooks in the next level. It has a inconvenient, seems that the Ubuntu people recently has taken the same aproach as Microsoft, taking all management tasks to GUI ones, not always comprensive and lacking documentation, sometimes against the Linux/POSIX flavor, this can turn Ubuntu into a Canonical support dependant OS, taking away from the Linux openess, and common way to solve things.

The Server Edition is very stable and has a good tunnig, it can be managed almost as Debian, but has some tricks and some "ubuntuized" commands which can complicate the server administration because the lack of documentation.
