Hello, from Roxboro, N.Carolina

59Panhead
I use AutoCAD on my Windows machine(s), but like to experiment with Fedora from time to time.  I just installed Fedora 22 on a machine that I use just for Linux.  And, LibreCAD shortly thereafter.  

I repair/restore old vacuum tube amplifiers, and occasionally build an amp from scratch.  I make CAD schematics of those that do not have them.  I am self-taught in AutoCAD, along with the help of many others over the years.  

I'm looking forward to visiting this site, and learning about LibreCAD from the members here.

Interesting, there are still vacuum tubes out there. I suppose you mean the big ones.

Just make sure you are running the latest stable release: 2.0.8. Please report bugs to our issue tracker:

I'm thinking mine said release 3.  Is that correct.  Will download release 2.0.8 this evening. 

Yes.  I began my electronics training in vacuum tubes (telling my age, now), but abandoned them for 'new' technology.  The head of the electronics department said that tubes would always be around.  Didn't believe him. 

I made my return to tubes maybe 8 or 10 years ago.  It's never died.  The music industry and the Hi-Fi audio industry never let it.  If you ever compare the sound of music reproduced by solid state/computer technology and tubes, you'll never listen to the SS/Computer again. 

Anyway, I'll report my results when I get the other version loaded.  Have a good one.
