Thanks a lot, I'm pretty sure I saw that in my searches. It will be great not to have to install it before checking it out.

It would be difficult to get the requirements correct using Redhat 7.1 (that must be close to 10 years old now). CDs to install the newest versions of Fedora, Gentoo, or Ubuntu are all easily downloaded and work effectively with gEDA (Ubuntu will even mail them to you). You can also very easily install a reasonably recent version of gEDA using the package management system for those distributions (yum, emerge and apt respectively). For your first Linux install, don't use a 64bit version, it will only give you headaches for now. 32bit versions of Linux work fine on 64bit processors. There was even a CD image passed around for a live CD of Ubuntu with gEDA installed, so you can try it out without installing. I played with this a little and it worked fine (you can probably search the achive for the link). Good luck. -Jeff On 5/30/07, al davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wednesday 30 May 2007, Rob Butts wrote: > > I have checked the gEDA:documentation archives for anything > > relating to AMD and wasn't able to find anything. > > > > I have checked the manual and the FAQ section and found > > nothing relating to AMD. > > It is distributed as source, and should work on any adequate > processor.
