oooh shiny!  

I didn't know about ubuntustudio - although I have heard of dyne:bolic.

I also didn't know about the svg plugins for GIMP that are mentioned

SVG and inkscape are extraordinary - Andy Fitzsimon is doing amazing
things as a graphic designer for RedHat using inkscape and GIMP.

You can view a tutorial he gave at this year's linux.conf.au
