Essential Mac tool No. 12: File Distributor File Distributor is a slightly different form of deployment tool. It allows admins to replace files at various locations within a file system.
I’m looking a good tool for drawing figures and diagrams for thesis and research papers.
According to my findings, it seems like inkscape is a good tool for that purpose. Do you have some better ideas?
