Just wanted to stop in and say "Hello!" I'm Allen and I'm in Alabama. Found this forum some time ago...just haven't posted anything until now.
I just got the latest version of Xara Xtreme for Linux (specifically Ubuntu 8.04 LTS). I've used Xara since the Corel days in the late 90's. I still have the Windows versions from long ago

Xara Xtreme looks and runs pretty much the same on Linux. I did have a crash problem when trying to export though. The latest version fixed that. In addition to Xara on Linux, I also use Gimp and Inkscape. On the Windows side, I use Xara X, CorelDraw and Photoshop. I used to do graphics stuff all the time...but got away from it. I get back into it from time to time though

Nice to meet you!
Allen
