EDA: Unix vs. NT

Posted by justin++ on

Geoff Parker wrote in with a story about competition between Unix and Linux vs. NT in the EDA market. An interesting read that puts Linux in good light and says that expctations for the EDA on NT market are falling short . It also seems Intel has a 1000-member LUG.

  1. Report from DAC by overshoot · · Score: 3

    1) This was a DAC for the aerobic. The fool hall was all in line. A truly linear DAC.
    2) Penguins *everywhere* -- even among the companies that didn't know that it would draw attention from Linux lovers.
    3) In conversations with some of the companies that _don't_ have announced Linux products, it turns out that all it'll take is someone ready to write a purchase order. Typical conversation:

    "Do you have a Linux version?"
    "No, but it wouldn't be difficult."
    "I know that it's not a big deal to port between Unix versions."
    "No, you don't understand. Our programmers insist on developing under Linux -- the commercial versions are the ports. All we need is an order."
