You can download LinuxCAD ver. 2000 (2.9) from Tucows: http://linuxberg.proxad.net/preview/168747.html (Don't know if Software Forge / LinuxCAD is aware of this, and if it's even legal.) It's quite hard to determine from the _very_crappy_ LinuxCAD home page what version the current LinuxCAD version is nowadays, but i think it's 2002 (3.0) (?). At least this dowloadable version should give you a feeling of the program, and convince you _not_ to buy it... :> BTW, who the heck is rating the programs on Tucows, i see that this piece of *#%@! have got 4 cows...
