Engineering tools moving to Linux

[Giffin Ron-P08295]

Hi,

Those of you in the Engineering community might be interested in this.
IMHO, this is one of the first big engineering tools moved to Linux.
And how about the irony? Doing design verification on a chip worth a
a quarter mil, with application software worth 100k, on a $50 machine
running a free operation system!!
