CentOS - Feb 2011 - OT - simple CAD program to design electronic circuits with

Hi all.

Is there an electronic circuit design CAD package available 
for Centos 5.5 please?

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts

I use Eagle CAD on my Mac and I know that there is a linux version.  I'm 
pretty sure that we also use this on out student RHEL5 labs.  They have 
a free version that is really pretty comprehensive.

Cheers,

I haven't used it yet, so I don't really know what it's like.

Keith,

One possibility is Kicad (start at 
http://kicad.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page). I have been 
using this package recently and it has reached the stage of being very 
useful. At this time it lacks some of the features of commercial PCB CAD 
packages but the price is right and it is an active project so those 
features will probably come over time.

Have fun,

Paul

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I found Qucs 
mentioned in the FEL docs. I have decided to start with that 
as it has a very intuitive GUI, appears to have a fast 
learning curve, and supports circuit simulations.

By following the qucs help documents, I have done a simple 
DC simulation similar to the one in this video below.

Thanks for all the other suggestions which I have bookmarked 
and will start to check out if Qucs cannot handle what I 
need it for.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
