linux equivalent to corel draw?

[Timothy Webster]

Hi, 

I want to move away from windows for my small business. But I am currenly lacking a good linux replacement for corel draw. What do you suggest?

Currently all the servers of course run linux. It is harder to find replacement desktops software.

I have moved from: 
microsoft office --> openoffice "done, but ... needs versioning http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/1100000/1096606/p10-roennau.pdf?key1=1096606&key2=9540807511&coll=&dl=ACM&CFID=15151515&CFTOKEN=6184618#search=%22xml%20versioning%20openoffice%22

microsoft shared files --> svn checkins

microsoft project --> trac "My company does not develop software, but I found the ideas apply to any type of product development"


But I need to move from:
corel draw --> what is a good linux replacement?


I can't move from:
solidwords
This software is really expensive, so I can affored a dedicated windows machine for cad work. Perhaps I could use proengineer wirefire on linux. 


Thanks for any advice.

-Tim
