Visio style Network Flowcharting in Linux?

[MrCoffee]

Hi Everyone,

I couldn't find a place where this question really fit in, so I put it here. At work we have several networks based on different OS's, that are not connected together. As a result, I tend to keep track of almost everything in Visio.

Reccently I switch over to RedHat 9, and while OpenOffice does have most of the paperwork related tools I need, I haven't been able to locate a flowcharting program like Visio. Does anyone out there know of one that I can take a look at?

Thanks!

I don't know how well it will fit your needs, but I've used Dia for planning some programs I've written and it worked well enought for me. It's Open Source and seems stable enough to use.

The only problem with DIA is that it cannot open up Visio files because they are a proprietary format. Cool program though.

I wanted to thank you all for the suggestions and help! Dia looks really good, and I can redo most of my drawings in it, verses having to import my current Visio drawings, and CrossOver Office is going to ROCK in my enginnering dept

Thanks again!
