2D: xdrawchem, gchempaint, chemtool, bkchem 3D: molden, gabedit (AFAIK), ?? - I do not need such tools that often, so checout gdis and co at your own :) > b. 3D view and rotation Most viewers are open source and we have several of them: pymol, rasmol, ... Have a look at the list in the Wiki. If you have Java installed, I can also commend Jmol. > c. pretty output with OpenOffice and/or PDF, as well as latex Maybe easychem?

Don't need such a feature. But there are several QM programs. Have a look at the list. > Any suggestion will be apreciate! Have a look at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScienceChemistry. If you need one of the not yet included packages, we are working at (like molden, gabedit or bkchem), just contact me or the http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debichem project. If a tool cannot satisfy all of your needs, then you can easily use exchange formats, by using e.g. CML (have a look at openbabel and chemical-mime-data).
