Well ruelle, I havenot given up the hope but I could not try Autocad 200x on linux since I am Doing it for my friends not for me. Whatever my requirements are there have been 100% fulfilled by wine (only 6/7 applications from windows) and have made shift to ubuntu for last 1 month i have not booted Win XP and carrying out all of my routine work only on KUbuntu. Thanks to KUbuntu, wine & wine Community. In year 2000/2001 I tried linux for first time with RH and Suse but could not shift to it on desktop but adopted for production server side implementation but with Ubuntu i felt that i can adopt it on desktop also and did that. Linux and wine have Improved very much since my first try and i am confident that the speed of improvement will much higher in near future as more more ppl shift from Windows to Linux simple demand supply phenomenon. I strongly feel that day is not far to get Autocad on Linux may be through wine or Native One. Thanks and Best Regards Raja Patil
