Firstly, when I click on an answer here, nothing happens under Firefox.

Secondly, I installed to Debian but using the Ubuntu .deb package.  It seems to be there alright but it took 1,738 MB of disk space! 

Thirdly, right out of the box I notice that none of the snaps seems to work, in the status box I see "Unrecognized command NEA" in case of 'snap to nearest point'.  Is this just buggy or is it a Debian issue?  Should I forget about draftsight until such times as they have a Debian package?  I'd be happy to pay for a respectable drafting program, but this does not seem to be it.
