Actually, I've already tested that, using the CrossOver 30-day demo. It works all right, but it's slower than on XP. Even so, this is a good option for the time being, until I can trust that Winblows box, I can run Visio on CrossOver on my laptop. As a permanent solution, though, it's not ideal. I want to use linux software. I've been looking at dia extensively, but I have these other two programs in mind: 1. Poseidon, for UML. This interface is focused on OOPL development, so it has a richer, more intuitive interface for doing UML. (I doubt I'd model a database with it, though. Dia would be better for that, just because of all the conversion scripts people have written to that format.) 2. dbdesigner4, for database design. This looks a lot like ERWin, if you've ever used that. It's the ONLY linux program I've seen like that, made specifically for modeling DB entities, keys, constraints, etc. --Jason -- I knit little sweaters for my pet peeves. _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
