There are serious things being produced on Linux desktop machines.
Please tell us what VariCAD is, what it costs, how it compares to AutoCad. I know that there was some kind of CAD program available two or three years ago that was supposed to be a clone of AutoCad, and one of the list people said it was so bad he would send me a copy so I could see for myself. I didn't take him up on it. It wasn't free, either, but that's a secondary consideration if the s/w will do what you need and not break the bank. I no longer have a lot of use for engineering CAD, being retired, but occasionally find I do a dwg. in AutoCad LT, which is all I need. --doug
