Re: gEDA-user: gEDA just hit SlashDotOrg

   What a doofus.  You can get any free-trial/limited commerical software
   and hmmmmmm formulate the lesson to fit within the restrictions...
   Electronics text books include 1 or several restricted commercial cad
   softwares for this purpose.
   I don't see anything wrong with teaching to a linux/mac application.
   Since linux is free it should not be too much trouble for students to
   install it if just for the semester.

   Oh, he may just be asking for just what DJ said, a windows, Mac, Linux
   EDA toolset.
   One cross-platform toolset to make his academic life easier....

   "students increasingly are switching to
   Mac (and some Linux netbooks). Wine and its variants will not run
   OrCad, and I don't wish to require students to purchase Windows and
   run with a VM. The only production-quality cross-platform CAD tool I
   have found so far"
   Sounds slightly encouraging to me.
