I had to laugh at your PPT comment - I would probably be the happiest
person in the world if I never had to do another presentation!

I am laying out a floor plan and was looking for some good stencils that
I can just plop in (like a bathroom, cabinets, etc.). Thanks for looking
into Kivio - I haven't gotten that far yet. Frankly, when I've done this
type of thing before I just use Illustrator on Win because that's what I
know inside and out. I'm trying to switch over to be more Linux hence my
question on the list of what I should use. 

Just curious - AutoCAD isn't free is it? I'm thinking you have to pay
for that. Anyway, I'll probably just go with what I know best right now
since I have to have some drawings put together by tomorrow. Thanks for
the input though!
