[ they even made home suck more, it cant even run autocad decently. product activation. ]
I'm trying to learn all I can about this OS thing, but for the moment, I have a question about AutoCADD. I have the student edition and I just upgraded my computer to a P4. Someone told me AC was a memory hog but it seems to work more or less ok so far with this new machine. Anyway, to get to the point, would Linux run AC better? If so, how would someone as clueless about OS as I am go about learning enough to install and use it?
:confused:

if it is distributed as a windows binary (most windows programs are, and i think *all* that cost money are) then it will not run on linux *at all* unless you use a dodgy third party conversion thing such as WINE or WINEX.
I don't know if linux binaries have been released. Maybe some other program has been released for linux that does the same job? If i were you i would start a new topic about this and ask people about it as this post is just going to get buried quickly.

OK, I'll do that. I appreciate the answer. I kinda figured that this was the case :(
Neuro7:
If you have XP, and look around in the system files you will see that it actually says NT 5.1 Also, if you have XP when you are on the web, the information that the web sites that you visit see when you are connected show that you are using NT 5.1
