It doesn't look like it was needed to post here as well as you're asking much of the similar questions. If you feel that another forum is more appropriate for your topic I can move your first topic there. Double posting just makes things messy.

Maybe it's best to continue on your original topic. You wont get any less attention with one topic than with two similar ones.

Btw, welcome to Nuxified.

Thanks for updating your post. Btw, you could use more descriptive titles too. I also moved your topic to "software support" since you're mainly asking for software you need.

I don't mean to sound imposing or anything, it's just good to keep things clean.

Now about your questions, I've never used any CAD programs on GNU/Linux, but here are some useful links I gathered from this old thread:

http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html
http://www.ribbonsoft.com/qcad.html
http://www.opencascade.org/
http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html

So you could check that out.

About a notepad program there are various options. I personally like a lightweight leafpad, but if you want something more powerful another option I can think of right now is tomboy which is included with GNOME 2.16. Tomboy is a wiki like desktop notepad and is therefore very flexible. It can lay in your tray in the background and be easily accessible whenever you need it. Cool stuff.

I agree. I happen to read the rules after that post. And i dont like reposting. So thanks. It wasnt imposing, just keeping things clean. BTW you should check out cad wares they are a very practical app.

Those are some great links. I familiar with some of them. NICE.

i wanted to know if there was any site where i can search distros by hardware configurations/compatibility? if not, its a good idea to do.

Hey, welcome fr0zenmon I sadly do not have time to reveiew the question as I am currently on in a net cafe! I am sure the other guys can help out though.
Just thought I would say hey!

I don't know of such a site. I've never personally needed such a site (I've just burnt disks and tested), but it does sound as if it could be usful for some, so PolishLinux people, maybe having a page on this would be interesting?
