The best way to do the search at google, is to use the URL
http://www.google.com/linux , and, then, search for "<program type>
program" - brilliant. Tried it with genealogy. Good results.

Also, try searching at http://linux.cnet.com/linux/ That searches
various locations, including freshmeat, tucows, etc. From what I have
seen, VariCAD seem appropriate. However, that opinion is only as an
observer, not, as a CAD user or authority.
