I am new to making my own PCBs, is there free software that is a
standard (I use Linux and Windows XP)? I have heard of Eagle and
Protel, I see that Gerber files appear to be the standard for PCB
houses.
Before I was hand drawing the lines on copper boards, now I think I will
try the photo-resist boards from web-tronics, with my ink jet and
transparencies.
thanks and happy etching
