No need to setup a whole new distro just to run inkscape.
Use the autopackages on the download page, they work great!
(If that doesn't work for you, I'll second Dwain, as a Kubuntu user myself)

I have a Slackware Linux system, at this point release 11. Slackware does

include Gnome. when I attempt to compile Inkscape I get a long list of missing packages. When I attempt to install the precompiled version using:
inkscape-0.44.1.x86.WONKY.package
things get even worse. Fontconf gets messed up and I have to reinstall Slackware 11 from scratch to straighten things out.
Which distro of Linux is Inkscape friendly? I can set it up on a separate partition.
