I use the openoffice suite for drawings for presentations. It's similar
to Microsoft products.
For mechanical drawings I use Varicad. It, however, cost $100 academic.

I need to make a few drawings for a paper I'm working on. The drawings
I'm talking about will just be lines, arrows, and numbers, essentially.
Can anyone suggest some good Linux software for this task?
My criteria for goodness are basically that it be free (as in beer),
easy to learn to use (at least at a basic level) and featureful/stable
enough to be used for my modest purposes.
I've used Adobe Illustrator for these purposes once or twice before, but
it seems like overkill, and I can't use it at home on my Linux machine.
I looked around and saw some promising sounding candidates, like Sketch
and Inkscape. And maybe you can do everything I want with the Gimp
easily enough. I figured that someone else probably has experience with
this.
Thanks,
Nick
