I hope there is an alternative to land desktop in linux. My uncle is using old computers that still have XP on them and land desktop 2005. People are finally starting to build houses again, but he is far from being able to afford new computers, with the cost of windows OS, and the ridiculous cost of autocad. I'm guessing he would have to switch to civil 3d now that land desktop is no longer supported if he was able to upgrade, but seems like a steep price to pay to update with all the other equipment cost. He is using old TDS rangers that are failing to stay on, costly GPS cables, the list goes on. I wish I could convert his entire office to run on linux since it is so lightweight and would run on his existing computers so much better.
