Homebrew PCBs

Looks like I am lost on Geda too bad it looks like something that my son could use in order to get used to the way things work with
EDA for sure. I like the idea of the individual applications comprising the suite.

Only problem is I am using WINXP and know nothing abt other operating systems so guess I would have to buy a new box for linux or
UNIX in order to even use it.

Cant afford that right now. Maybe down the road.

A friend of mine at work today said something about trying 'AUTOCAD' said he had an older copy of it I could use at home, but after
looking it up on the web, I dont see where it does EDA work looks like it is mainly for Drafting type work. 

Bridge builders, ect.

Someone mentioned Eagle, I looked it up and it has a windows version would it do about the same as Geda as far as being a good place
for a beginner to start?

tnx Bob AD5VJ
