There's a Software Manager in the GUI, and I use apt-get for anything else or
sometimes dpkg for .deb packages

I tried installing KDE, but no joy.
Seems I'm having problems like this

and I don't know if I want to start opening that can of worms right now.

I meant a sort of background image that could be used as a guide - I might try
it just in POV-Ray exactly like that and see how it works.   Real-time
drawing/drafting is just faster and more intuitive.
Almost all of the graphics/CAD packages I've taken a quick look at seem to not
be well suited to the task, and I haven't managed to figure out how to install
BRL-CAD to try THAT...
I might have to install WINE   { :( <whine> } so that I can use M$ VISIO....
sigh.
Or reboot into Win7.   :(  :(   What a PITA.
