When I first tried gEDA, I did have a review of different packages but 
the link is dead.  This was back in RH 8 days.  I haven't worked with 
gEDA since last summer.

I have only used three different design tools.  Two are Windows 
packages, one was free (Fastrax?) for PCBs.  Multisim and gEDA.

I never got the chance to get deeply into any of the packages.

Here is an article about gEDA.

I did come across this.

And this is a link to different software packages.
