[cad-linux] Re: LinuxCAD Installation Problems

If you are looking for a replacement of Autocad, Bricscad would be the best
choice, the interface is almost identical to autocad and it is much cheaper.
However, Bricscad is made running on linux using the winelib. By using the
winelib its runs with linux but not as stable as it should be. Here:
http://international.cad4linux.nl/cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.6you
will find a review. There will be a native Bricscad version at the end
of 2007, this version would be similair to the version they make for
microsoft windows. I am looking forward to the native bricscad, because
Bricscad has everything i am looking for in a cad program.
