From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No, you didn't miss anything. the EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files are also vector files. Inkscape just doesn't like to to open them, so I had to use a program on my Mac to convert them to SVG

I believe that I used Graphic to convert them to SVG, if I remember correctly. I was a Mac user before switching to Linux, so I had already purchased the software.

Ah that explains it, lucky!
Weird they still haven't made a clean SVG for the rest of us peasants, but at least there are good souls like you to convert them for us :)

Actually, it was Affinity Designer that I used, as I just had to convert the NetBSD logo from EPS. I’m sure that there’s a Linux app that can do it, I just haven’t looked
