Can anyone suggest a good Computer Aided Design tool for cabinet and furniture design? If we can find a proper tool for this guy, he may bring a whole bunch of friends away from the dark side. Note, as thrilling as the idea of an Amish Linux distro may be, please change the subject line of your replies if you want to talk about something besides CAD for furniture, thank you! Keith ------------ edited forwarded message : Pleasure to meet you Saturday night at Jon & Julie's place. This is Mike Wold, the across the valley neighbor that was interested in the Knoppix disk. I have looked around the disk for a bit and liked what I have seen. Also, have also replaces ie on the both my most used machines with Firefox. It works well with the NetSuite accounting program, and so I am eager to learn more: What would you recommend if I wanted to off the xp bandwagon? I know VERY LITTLE about Linux, other than how to spell Linux, and have just learned that! I have seen the Sun Java Desktop and been intrigued, but also Red Hat. We are a furniture business doing accounting through the ASP NetSuite and have additional requirements of an Excel type spreadsheet, word processor, email and a CAD program for cabinet and furniture design. Our Amish friends in Ohio use Macdraft on the Mac OS for cabinet design and if I could use a Linux version of Macdraft that would be compatable with the Mac version, that would be awesome, but fat chance of me being so lucky? Anyway, I wanted to thank you for the disk and let you know the seed found fertile ground over here across the valley. Any tips would be appreciated. I tried to uninstall ie after using Firefox, but it's pretty sticky. The obvious solution is to reformat and install Linux. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Keith Lofstrom keithl@xxxxxxxx Voice (503)-520-1993 KLIC --- Keith Lofstrom Integrated Circuits --- "Your Ideas in Silicon" Design Contracting in Bipolar and CMOS - Analog, Digital, and Scan ICs
