Review: qBittorrent

,----[ Quote ]
| It was a little rough getting there, but KDE 
| 4 has reached a point where Iâm using it on 
| all my machines. The pain was worth it 
| (barely) and KDE is by far the most 
| satisfying desktop environment for my 
| personal use.

| 
| If you are in the market for a new 
| bittorrent client, especially once based in 
| QT â I highly recommend giving qBittorrent a 
| look. Itâs a solid and reliable client with 
| well implemented features and under active 
| development so chances are good it will 
| continue to improve!

4 Resources for the Powerful Inkscape Open Source Drawing Tool

,----[ Quote ]
| Among advanced open source graphics tools, GIMP has a lot of fans, and there
| are many free online resources available for it, but if you're looking for a
| drawing and illustration tool that can compete with Adobe Illustrator and is
| especially good for logos and splashy still graphics, give Inkscape a try.

Inkscape: one essential vector graphics application

,----[ Quote ]
| Inkscape is my vector graphics application of choice. It can do a wide
| variety of vector drawing tasks with relatively little effort. It uses the
| now-standard SVG vector format as its native format, and it has become very
| extensible through a simple âstream-basedâ, language-agnostic scripting
| system. On modern systems, it is reasonably responsive (though not the
| fastest), and the interface layout is well-balanced and fairly intuitive.
|
| Since I use Inkscape every day and itâs clearly my favorite vector graphics
| tool, thereâs really no way my review of it can be unbiased. So I wonât
| pretend to be. Instead, Iâll just try to be as complete as I can about the
| more unique features of the program.

| Linux Fund has partnered with Inkscape developer Milosz Derezynski to improve

| control over kerning and other essential text attributes.

Inkscape Tutorial - The Sun

,----[ Quote ]
| Half of the battle in graphic design is working smarter, not harder. I've
| done some tutorials for Gimp which push that tool to its limits, but too many
| folks focus on Gimp and forget that we have a whole arsenal of power graphics
| tools on the Linux desktop. Here is one image which would have been a pain to
| do in Gimp, but a snap in Inkscape.
