I wanted to mention that my two favorite tools for vector
graphics are well supported in Linux.

  * xfig - a classic.  If you can get the hang of it, it's easy to
    make really good looking EPS that imports well into lots
    of other apps.

  * metapost - an under-appreciated treasure by John Hobby,
    a student of Don Knuth's.  It takes a programming language
    as input and creates PostScript (which is also a programming
    language, so "meta" is appropriate).

    So for generating good looking scalable graphics from a
    script or program, metapost is fantastic.
