Subject: Re: Free PCB software

I tried a lot of different packages, I finally decide to use Kicad:
http://www.lis.inpg.fr/realise_au_lis/kicad/

It's open source and does have any limit like some others do, and does
not cost anything unless you want to donate to there project.

I has a lot of libraries that come with it plus more at:
http://www.kicadlib.org/

Of course it has it's own set of quirks like any software does. I
haven't done any actual PCB yet using it, but will shortly. I have
done a number of schematics and with some practice it's not to bad.
