 Oh, and BTW, even apache doesn't have permission to write to most of my site
 :)

This is a good point. I run my webserver as www-data, but almost all of
my files are owned by root/me/my wife, and chmod 744 (a lot of my stuff
is actually 444). That way, the webserver can serve them, but can't
modify them in any way. The only exceptions to this are a few files that
www-data has to write to, like a counter data file and things like that.
I can't think of any good reason that apache would need to modify any
files.

C-Ya,

This does not answer your question re a Linux
home modelling packgages, but what you want sounds
like a product called 3D Architect, version 4.0
which I purchased at Compusa in Nashua a couple of
months ago and finally started using last week...
(I run it on my Windoze 98 HP Pavillion box...) 

I think I have v2.0 of that product.  I hope it's improved somewhat 
since then, I was extremely disappointed in it.

Btw, have you tried running it under the latest incarnation of WINE?

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.

 If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!

Re: home construction/remodeling packages

[Ferenc Tamas Gyurcsan]

There are some packages available. Look for CAD for linux, and you'll very 
likely find all of them. Eg. Microstation had a linux version some time ago 
(this was probably the best package for linux). There is some package called 
cycas, or something similar name.
I tried them, and then reverted to Archicad, which runs only on windows and 
Mac; you may be able to get away with some windows emulation solution. If you 
spend a few days with softwares in the cheaper/freeware category, you'll find 
that they're not worth much; you'll spend a lot of time trying to figure out 
how to do something  that may not even be possible with them. Especially when 
you get to designing roofs and their intersection with walls, or rendering 
capabilities, that's where it shows how much you spent on an architect 
software. 
As for complete material list, electric plan, etc., that may be extra 
packages for other base solutions (eg. Autocad/Autoarchitect, , Archicad), 
but I'm not familiar with those. And this is offtopic by now, anyway.

 Are there Linux software packages available
 to help with home construction/remodeling?
 Having never used such software I'm not even
 completely sure what I'm asking for, but I'd
 think such a package would at least (and I'm
 talking about something more than xfig) help
 you lay out a floorplan.  Fancier ones might
 provide some CAD assistance, perhaps even
 allowing you to model the entire structure
 right down to the studs and wiring and maybe
 even generating a materials list for the
 project.  A *really* cool package might even
 let you model the entire structure in 3D and
 allow you to move individual components on
 a what-if basis, etc, etc, etc...
