Hello List, After reading the posts on CAD by a handful of people, I start to think of what best solutions can LTSP and Linux come to.
I have tried QCad which reads only DXF file type. Someone also posted about a cad which runs on windoze only at this moment. For 2D, the workstations will be useful tool, whereas on 3D especially rendering, it will not be optimal to think of RAM being fully jammed by 1 terminal. Not to mention that 3D render normally calls for high graphic output quality. Despite the challenges, I think it is a right direction to go for Linux and LTSP for terminal CAD stations. Open sourced CAD is rare. The market is presently dominated by windoze CAD, particularly AutoCad and Microstation. One issue is common faced by users, file compatability, very much the same like Office suites and OpenOffice or StarOffice. I have about 20 standalone CAD stations at work running M$ and it will be great to migrate them to Linux and LTSP. For other applications, I have about 10 workstaions quite happily running on diskless. -- Best regards, Bill mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
