Hello, Following Adrian's and Phil's comments, we are not really in the ProDESKTOP style 3D end of the market, our main program (2D Design) is intended to serve as an intro to CAD/CAM work. It has features you'd expect in say AutoCAD lite (or QCAD) but also some more illustration type features such as Corel (or SodiPodi). The point being that in the average secondary graphics class are children who might want to be engineers, architects, graphic designers, textile designers, etc etc... So we reckon they all need a basic grounding before specialising later. 2D Design also has built-in drivers for the 2D and 2.5D machines we sell so you don't have to get involved in 'post-processing' just make a simple project. The nearest I've seen on Linux is CAM Expert which is a commercial product from the same guy who produces the free QCAD, but ours is simpler to use. 2D Design runs quite happily under Wine, though there are issue printing via CUPS. Ed Lea hacked some new Wine code last year to enable our CAM machines to operate from parallel and serial ports, but I don't know if his code has made it to the official release.
