Aside from that it was a site license for like $200 or, we can load it on, windows, OS X & linux. While they do offer a year of support, the contact at ribbonsoft seems to be at a dead end with regards to why the K12LTSP version works and not his. He did take the RPM he seems to think that it includes the official release tarball from that Qcad version. We do have a test box which is used to get apps. and clients going before we add them to the big boy also. There are too many great things going on with linux to not move forward with additional apps and services. It's not so much "what can linux do?", it more like "what can't it do?" Patience, time and perseverance for me are the keys to getting things worked out in Linux. Thanks just the same for your input, Mark "Support list for opensource software in schools." <<a href="mailto:k12osn@redhat.com">k12osn@redhat.com</a>> writes: Personally, I prefer not to install software that has not been tested on my platform. The way I do that is to stick to software that is located in my YUM repositories, or at least has RPM's for Fedora. I hate tweaking after an install, software that you PAY for should hold your hand, IMHO, and install and work within minutes after install.
