Thanks pal! just been researching it online tonight, and i came across that CD section, I'm just sceptical about it at the moment as i don't know too much about it so I'm trying to pool my resources lol.

Putting that on hold for the moment though as I work frequently with design programmes from Autodesk and Graphisoft meaning they won't be compatible with Linux : ( or maybe there's a loophole?!

Guess i'll do a trial run with the PC first
