know of any free linux 3d cad software?

[Iraxl Enb]

I googled the old posts on this news group but couldnt find anything conclusive...

Is there any linux-based free 3d design software that folks here use?

Thanks, irax.

Of course not. that's one of the reasons that Normal People do not use Linux (nor any other software named after a Peanuts Character).

(Oh My, I hear the pitter pattering footsteps of the Linux Loonies in the distance. As the natives often say in other comic strips, "Ayiieeee !!")

Not 3D, but free and works for me:

Irax,

You might have better luck looking in some of the alt.linux newsgroups, or alt.os.linux etc.. but I do have a couple of URLs to linux software map pages from when I used to work with Unix at Lucent Tech. in the Bell Laboratories unit:

Since you mentioned Lucent / Bell Labs am I safe in assuming after February, 1996?

You'll love this one then, Tom:

yes, I'm a fanatical Linux zealot, just for the record. I can laugh about it. While you're at it, try:

Akshully I was just having some fun. I've got an older box that I replaced a month or so ago and, once I get a cheapo monitor for it, I'm gonna have a go at this Linux stuff.

Still, when it comes to bidness apps, my heart (and wallet) belong to Bill.

Any ones in particular? Mebee I can find some functional equivalents that will spare your wallet and/or vital organs.

Akshully, you don't need no steenkin' monitor/keyboard/mouse for the older box once you get linux installed and if both boxes are networked. Just install a VNC server on the Linux box and a VNC client on yur windoze box - free of course :-)

Talk about being deserving of the "Iron Man" award...

I bailed from Moto in '98 on a yummy VSP program after 23 years, but now that the grandson of the founder has "retired" as CEO, maybe they have a chance at a turn around.

Better check the site again. Even the source is available for download. I picked up the RedHat RPM at:

seems to be a big improvement over 1.5 from what I've seen so far.
