Possibly of interest: Back in 2002, before the Linux Gazette staff left SSC's hosting and moved to linuxgazette.NET, a guy named Richard Brown submitted this tip to the Answer Gang column: Saw your "not yet". I am a mechanical engineer. I run AutoCAD daily on Linux using VMware. (Running SuSE 8.0 or 7.3, AMD 1.4 with 768 Mg) Works beautifully. Frequently, I had 10 or 15 sessions of AutoCAD running at the same time. Never a problem. Nice also when I want to reload or update, as from 7.3 to 8.0; simply copy the back the Windows 2000 file. To me, it is the preferable way to run AutoCAD. -richard I maintain a list of Linux options, highlighting the free-software / open source ones, at "CAD[D]" on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Apps/ . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
