Another popular free/open source program is KiCad, which is available
for Window and Linux. So nice not to have to worry about board and
size restrictions like with Eagle!
http://www.kicad-pcb.org/KiCad has a few warts, but I find using it a lot more enjoyable than Eagle.
There's also live help:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=kicadKiCad is perfectly good enough for home or small business use, and
I've happily used it for several years.
