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
It's a zoo. And Linux is the only way outta that zoo. Stop the
madness.
Yes. I think that is the point of switching :).
It's so bad (and I'm so burnt out on it) that people still ask me to
come help them on their legacy systems. I tell them my price rates, and
they leave me

What is Tarantella?
I don't quite understand what it does

Have you considered linuxCAD? It doesn't look pretty, but it claims
complete support for DWG and DXF import and export. Only $99.

Windows Terminal Server works great with LTSP. If you have citrix
metaframe, you can run apps off the wts with linux apps and cant tell
them apart.
However, licensing costs make this solution almost as costly as running
a windows shop.

Is the CAD you will be doing 2D or 3D?
We've tried to move to 3D, but it always ends up
