I've heard about Xara since many years ago and always wanted to try it.
So I went to the above URL and downloaded the autopackage file. It
started to install, but then dumped 40-50 lines of errors and aborted
the installation. This is on my Ubuntu-64 Breezy computer. I'm too new
to Linux to be able to follow the rest of the instructions on the
website.
