In the last few days I have downloaded the free versions of,
PC express
Kincad
Eagle
PCBwizard
Eagle is pretty tough for a beginner but, There is a Linux version and thats a plus.
Kincad has a linux version also but dont know if there is autoroute,
I think thats what its called when you can take a schematic and automatically convert it to a Board trace, is that right?
PC Express and PCB wizard are pretty simple, and windows only, but dont know about autotrace.
