[ML-General] Which (free) Linux electrical cad software?

[Tim H]

I use "GEDA" for building circuits and pcbs, but will admit that it has
almost NONE of the features you've requested. (never trust the autorouter)
"KiCAD" has more active development, and may have some of those features at
this point.
I agree with Josh though, "Fritzing" is probably going to be the prettiest
and easiest to use of the bunch.
