Just to sound like a broken record .... Synergy runs on Linux. You get 2.5 D and wireframe for free. It is the CAM part that cost $$. Just hit the Weber Systems site and download. BTW- it likes Hardy Heron Ubuntu. :-) My problem with Synergy is that is such a powerful package I'm not bright enough to use much of it. And .... no I don't have a financial interest in Weber Systems, darned!
