[SLUG] FW: Mentor ports IC Station to Linux (http://www.eet.com/story/OE G20000823S0043)

[Jill Rowling <Rowling@xxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI - high end electronics design package ported to Linux.

The package is fairly high priced ($12k per person at least), definitely not
free.
But a lot of people have been waiting for something like this.
Apparently the Linux port went very smoothly.

The article says something about requiring at least 500 MB of RAM.
I did a quick check on the sun server here; it's got 512 MB of RAM and
fairly hums along with 7 engineers working concurrently on a project using
the Solaris version of this software.
