Re: gEDA suite vs my creaky old Protel Client 3.5?

3. May as well go whole hog (so to speak) and then do a livecd with the complete gEDA system on it. This is another bit of work, but I seem to use livecd's more than I ever thought I would, and it would serve as a bridge to Windows users.


Hi -- OP here. I am a Windows user, so aside from the original curiosity about what gEDA has to offer to me vis a vis Protel Client 3.5, I know that it doesn't run under WinXP, but that is not a s.e.cad matter so I have set that little hurdle aside. So . . . whatever the heck a livecd is, it sounds like it might let me eval gEDA. Count me in if you want to make a few. 

How do you know that gEDA doesn't run under Window sex pea?

With Cygwin it runs nicely... (or, so I am told.  I don't use microsloth
products.)
