<p>Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities
 
similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the
 
open-standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Inkscape's
 
main goal is to create a powerful and convenient drawing tool fully
 
compliant with XML, SVG, and CSS standards.</p>
 

	
 
<p>In contrast to raster (bitmap) graphics editors such as Photoshop or
 
Gimp, Inkscape stores its graphics in a vector format. Vector graphics
 
is a resolution-independent description of the actual shapes and
 
objects that you see in the image. This description is then used to
 
determine how to plot each line and curve at any resolution or zoom
 
level.</p>

for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based
 
clients.  Samba is software that can be run on a platform other than
 
Microsoft Windows. For example, Samba runs on Unix, GNU/Linux, IBM
 
System z, Solaris, Mac OS X, and OpenVMS, among others. It is
 
standard on virtually all distributions of GNU/Linux and is commonly
 
included as a basic system service on other UNIX-based systems as
 
well. Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is installed on the host
 
server.</p>
 

	
 
<p>One of the key goals of the project is to remove barriers to
 
interoperability. Samba is a software package that gives network
 
administrators flexibility and freedom in setup, configuration, choice
 
of systems, and equipment. Samba is released under the GPL.</p>
