I use all those monitors for CAD software, Vectorworks 12.5 on my G4

my G4 I doubt that I will be able to use all of the screen space. I
certainly can't if I use X-11 to log in to my existing Linux box.
Are there any open source options for decent computer aided design -
circuit boards, electronic schematics, and some machine drawings -
available for Linux? I keep looking and even compiling but I haven't
found anything I can afford. Yeah. . there are things like Pro-
Engineer which are way out of my price range.
Not Linux, but have you looked at Cadintosh from Lemkesoft?

than Vectorworks...
