What is Xara Xtreme?
Xara Xtreme for Linux is a powerful, general purpose graphics program for Unix platforms including Linux, FreeBSD and (in development) OS-X.
Formely (sic) known as Xara LX, it is based on Xara Xtreme for Windows, which is the fastest graphics program available, period. The Xara Xtreme source code was made available open-source in early 2006, and is being ported to Linux. This process is almost complete and Xara Xtreme for Linux is available for download now.
Need I say more? Well, next to Photoshop and GIMP, this is one of the most powerful graphics tool available. And best of all, like GIMP, it is free!
To help you properly install it, Linux-Tip has an excellent tutorial available. What are you waiting for?
