You have motivated me to re-take up programing. I had left it since 1996 when we used FORTRAN and BASIC and they kept changing the platforms (or the goal post as i complained).

Can you check if ubuntu maintains FreeCAD in their synaptic repositories.

by the way I am trying to install your draft 0.0 on FreeCAD in windows but having problem.

good luck
