windows apps on linux.
Hi, its not really possible to run a .exe application within linux by default. there is a project going at the moment called WINE. they have released a linux program that allows you to run windows applications on linux.
I would not guarantee that its going to run autocad though.
check the project out though as it may be of some use to you it may even work perfectly

hope this helps.
