    Bryan:
    Thanks for your comments and the links. It's always struck me that
    conversations about CAD -- particularly in computer-oriented contexts -- are
    much like the fable about the blind man and the elephant: It all depends on
    what part of the beast that you know -- or think that you know. Trust me, I'm
    no AutoCAD fan -- but my short answer to the OP's query about a Linux
    equivalent to AutoCAD is, "Probably not, but there may be kludges. What does
    the part of the elephant that you're holding feel like?"

    I suggest that we take any further discussion off-list. It might be fun, and I
    need a little excitement around here.
