Is it possible to use Cadence on Linux platforme?

[Slav Mit.]

Hello, everybody.
Can someone advise me how to use Cadence and Mentor Grafic software for PCB
Design on Linux computer? I tryed to install Cadence and Mentor software to
Red Hat Linux with Wine. My task is to increase the productivity of computer
(I read that programs work much quicker under Linux.) Is it true? and is it
possible to get that power of Linux? I will appreciate any advice.
Best Regards
Slav.

When you use these programs under Windows, how much of your time is
spent waiting for the computer, compared to the time the computer is
waiting for you to plan your next move? I know that, with Protel, the
computer spends _much_ more time waiting for me than I spend waiting
for the computer.

In any case, I suspect that a Windows program running under an
emulator (I know WINE is not an emulator...) on linux will be no
faster than the same program under Windows on a comparable machine.

To increase productivity, uninstall FreeCell and don't let people go to
www.timewaster.com on company time. The odds are far greater that the
program is waiting for the user than the user is waiting for the program.

Also:

Buy good quality mice, displays and keyboards.
