Hallo, I see some people are using PSpice and having to use it under XP. I checked, and PSpice is now a Cadence product, and most or all other Cadence products run under Linux, so you could check whether PSpice is also available. There are also open source or free Spice programs. I use Winspice and ngspice. For interactive work Winspice is better, and runs well under wine. ngspice runs natively under Linux.
