0 Inkscape - Open Source Vector Drawing

Sometimes, when someone moving/changing his/her platform from windows to mac/linux/unix based OS, they always(or sometimes) find problems, such as applications compatibility.
As what i did, my teacher gave me a task to make a Corel project, which only compatible with windows (i'm mac user). So, i'm trying to find an application that can help me do that task w/o parallel my mac or boot camp. I found inkscape, inkscape is a open-source SVG editing/creator software which is created for unix based and windows based computer. It works fine and i think i enjoy it more than corel. If we see from features, corel will highly surpass inkscape, yeah, but for easy use, i consider inkscape better, and also we won't be worried by breaking law since it's open-source software.

Inkscape also has considered as the best "open-source" SVG tool (UNIX category). Check its website on http://inkscape.org/index.php?lang=en
OR try directly instead of checking its website on these following links :

for Windows download here
for Macintosh download here [universal .dmg](X11 or XQuartz must be installed already){Macintosh SnowLeopard minimum}
for Linux you can download directly from Software Center since it's recommended application.
