is ubuntu complient with any cad programs? I work with autocad and that is the only reason why i still use windows. Does anyone work with autocad and ubuntu together or other cad program such as intellicad free? i'm installling (trying) ubuntu to my computer next weekend and hope everything will go smoothly.

Here's a list, but I'm not sure if it's up-to-date:

You might try installing AutoCAD under Wine or Crossover office, too.

Is there a specific field you work in?

Edit: Some forum notes about AutoCAD and Crossover:

It's probably worth a try.
