My current business depends on Inkscape.
I use Inkscape's 'gcodetools' plugin to generate gcode for a CNC mill. I can go from designing to cutting in five minutes flat. I'm not sure if it is included in this release, but you can get it in the beta.
They already have. It's called Lumia.
I miss Nokia. They used to make fantastic phones.

tune the ECU with open source tools (Saab drivers are all about open-source engineering) and have a 300HP car that will embarrass most cars short of a Z06 on the highway.
Do you have some links? This is very relevant to my interests....
wrong. If you are a pro a large comfortable room full of outboard gear from respected manufacturers is a must. Plugins are beloved of the 'bedroom' crowd who can't afford real equipment.
I'm so tired of hearing this 'no professional level music tools on linux' rubbish.
Try Ardour. You can even use VST plugins if you really want to (though I wouldn't, too many are rubbish). I've been a recording engineer for close to twenty years and I find the only barrier I have to using it professionally is uninformed bigotry from ProTools users who regard themselves as the centre of the universe.
Also, if it taking you DAYS to get jack working, you are definitely doing it wrong or your computer is from Mars.
Oh come on, I used to be a tech for a computer refurbisher so I have dealt with literally hundreds of rather abused ex-corporate CRTs.
You make it sound like you have to tune the things like an old radio every time you turn them on.
I'd say about one in every thirty of these old, old units would benefit from a five minute alignment as they passed through the shop, then the vast majority would be fine until they were retired by the new owners.
There are a lot of good KiCad libraries scattered around the web.. many with component models for the 3d board viewer.
I've tried all the free solutions looking for a replacement for my ancient copy of Protel - KiCad is the one I stuck with
Or you could use Lyx. You get the beautiful output you expect from LaTeX and the most common functions are handled for you in a what-you-see-is-a-bit-like-what-you'll-get editor, - if you need anything especially funky you can always add it manually.
I always used to think latex users were mad, but after I saw the output quality I now use it for all of my official writing.
Laptop sleep issues are usually related to bios bugs or closed video drivers (like the commonly seen radeon issues). I have decompiled the bios on several laptops and I am apalled at the simple bugs that make it into production.
The bugs are fixed in the windows driver, not in the bios where everyone can benefit.
You can download a new data table from here:
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php
And have your initrd bang it into place, or just fix the bugs yourself - they are usually obvious.
The only way to get a working binary for the older cards is to install an ATI blob from version 8.28.8 http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/radeonprevious-linux.html or before. A lot of laptops use 9100s, they were dropped along with a heap of other models after this release.
You just have to give up in the end and lose most of your acceleration, or install a old distro from cd and not update it.
openSUSE offers a 1-click installer. Sabayon includes them by default. Heck, Mint (a nicer fork of Ubuntu) includes them by default. I followed the instructions on Ubuntu's wiki, yet they never worked. I asked for help and was repeatedly attacked for attempting to use ATI. Mind you, on the exact same laptop (my wife's old laptop) I ran Gentoo with the ATI drivers (custom kernel, -viper release), Sabayon with the ATI drivers, and openSUSE 10.1 with the ATI drivers. The only distro I had problems with was Ubuntu.
When was this? I have a machine with ATI drivers, Ubuntu installed them by default and alerted me that it had done it.
Then you probably have a desktop with a post 9600 ATI. I have three laptops with ATIs in them. They work with Fiesty but will not work with Gutsy or Hardy due to ATI dropping support in the binary.
It is true however that Sabayon ships a nicer KDE and configures graphics cards properly that Ubuntu will not, I usually run a partition of both on each machine (my two favourite distros) and I have seen this many times.
Crank your monitor resolution down to 800x480 and try working for an hour and you'll get the idea. My terminal still looks great. What was the problem again?

An X31 is a remarkably primitive laptop by today's standards.
on which everything WORKS. And will keep working. That is value for me
