Inkscape, Gimp and a program called Artrage that I have on my mac.
It's a nice little program with a realistic interface - you can pin
references around your work just like you would in real life. Oh also
I found an online SVG 'translator' to vectorize my drawing
http://www.roitsystems.com/cgi-bin/autotrace/tracer.pl
However I am *so* not a designer - I mostly use pencil and watercolor.
So a bit of a learning curve. Also my work is usually a naturalistic
look, not the crisp cartoon style that we use for illustration.
I don't know how it got from "I'll take a look and see if I can come
up with something" to "Helen assures me she's all over it...."
I'm thinking of doing some photo-editing instead, there's a few nice
public domain images which will look good with a green background.
However I keep hoping Robert will wave a magic wand....
(meanwhile trying to get my drivers sorted on the desktop so I can
actually apply some processing power....)
cheers

Robert, the white space is a little scattered, would you like to take a preliminary look at layout, maybe 'tweak' the arrangement a little bit, to one or two larger blank spaces rather than many small ones if possible. I have a design for a Chameleon hanging around the top and side of a box that could work. I'd prefer that than having small cliparts all over.
However I could do some small icon-like drawings as an alternative.
I welcome other ideas.
If I know where the free space is I can design the art to fit it.
best,
Helen
Awesome! And Helen is telling me she's all over it to add some nice artwork to it, really cool.
As reminder, we're going to get about 50.000 posters out to readers of linux magazine, double-side printed. One side should have this cheat sheet, one side a cool 11.4 poster. Robert will take care of the final layout and sending it to linux magazine...

Robert,
I am attaching the openoffice drawing. Sorry it not in Scribus, I didn't have time to do the work and learn the program. Please let me know if there is anything else you need.
