Thanks, Mark Kirschner Heya, I'm sure someone will have already replied before I finish typing this... but oh well :) I have never used Dia as it looks a little too outdated for me, however it may be useful to you. What I have read says that it has quite a few different stencils and such. (Looks like this is the most mentioned option as I write this...) http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/ Also of note is Kivio. http://www.koffice.org/kivio/ I believe there are options to install this seperately, however it is normally part of KOffice. Another link for this is from TheKompany. They create commercial software. Not sure which version came first, however this supposedly has more options with it (more stencils I believe too.) http://www.thekompany.com/products/kivio/ I'm sure that there are more out there, however these are the main two that I am aware of. Personally as I generally use more of the KDE software I prefer Kivio, however as KDE is not everyone's cup of tea, Dia may work out better for you.
