I use XaraX at work and know that it is a great vector graphics programs compared to Photoshop and Fireworks.

In my situation my distro of choice, PCLinuxOS does not support XaraLX because it uses glibc 2.3.2 instead of glibc 2.3.4 which is required by XaraLX. I considered trying a distro with a c library package that supports XaraLX, but for now I decided to stick with PCLinuxOS and abandon XaraLX. I have tried over a dozen distros (Ubunutu variations, MEPIS, Mandriva, Vector to name a few) some of which undoubtedly support XaraLX, but for me PCLinuxOS simply works better than any other distro.

I'm wondering how many others are in this same situation, that is, your favorite distro doesn't support XaraLX so you are abandoning use of XaraLX to stick with your favorite distro.

Good luck with the XaraLX development. When PCLinuxOS supports XaraLX I will try it again. In the meantime I will continue to use XaraX at work.
