PTC began support for 32-bit Linux operating systems with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, in 2003. In fact, a survey of our users earlier this year shows that today over 80% are running Pro/E on Windows, and this number is expected to approach 90% within three years. First, we continue to see increasing consolidation of our Pro/ENGINEER customers around fewer and fewer platforms. Our justification for this decision was multi-faceted. In May of this year, PTC announced that we were planning to drop our support for the Linux operating system with the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 release, currently planned to be available early in 2008, per the PTC Product Calendar ().

Can someone tell me who makes a similar product, preferably a tier 1 product that supports Linux 64 and 32bit? If anyone is interested in the install tweeks I use to get WF working, just reply to this message, I'll be glad to help. Red Hat actually in most divisions running on the previous generations CPU's for hardware made cost of ownership about as low as it gets. When you can design your own processors, simulate and get them to market with the highest yields, hands down over any other IC mfr., using Linux.

At one point there was even a cluged windows netbatch, that was useless.

We could run full chip sims on these cost effective beasts in less than a week compared to months on the old Unix systems. The last company I was with for eight years used clusters of several thousand CPU's which replaced the Sparcs HP's, etc. I could see where the ME's would be a little uncomfortable at first with the installation, but the work arounds are quite trivial, and I never spent more than a few hours getting licensing and PEWF up and running. I have been using WF3 with Fedora 6, and WF2 with Fedora 3 and 4 before that. I believe this is a big mistake on PTC's part because desktop linux is just coming on the scene. I was planning on eventually purchasing up to 30 seats, and growing my business in an electromech direction. Being from the IC and electrical industry, I simply don't use Windows because it is unbelievably inferior. I am seriously disappointed in their decision to drop linux support.

Unless there is a dramatic shift in the adoption of Linux by our customers, PTC plans to discontinue support of Pro/ENGINEER on Linux in the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 release. Although PTC originally had plans to provide support for Mechanica on Linux in the Wildfire 3.0 release, we have now decided to drop that support for the Production release of Wildfire 3.0. The adoption of Linux on the desktop has been very slow in the PTC customer base. My response from a supplier about the Linux 64bit port question below- 132153 _ Type TPI Created Date 1 Last Updated 0 Title Linux Support for Mechanica will not be Provided for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 Details Description Pro/ENGINEER had been supported on Linux since the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire release, but PTC has seen very rare usage of Pro/ENGINEER running on Linux. At this point, it seems only customer feedback will change the Linux port/drop direction. UGNX 64bit Linux and Solidworks in a VMWARE sessions works very well. Did they really believe their customers wanted a 32bit port of ProE for Linux? What customer wants to move from 64bit RISC machines to a 32bit Intel machine? Who would want to stay on a 32bit Linux machine versus a 64bit WindowXP or 64bit RISC machine? 4GB+ avaible memory or under 4GB's? I plan on making the push now in my company to drop/move away from ProE until PTC figures out the obvious in regards to having a 64bit Linux port. I recently was informed that it looks like the Linux port (32bit) will be dropped in the future, I'll include the email I recieved at the end.
