Someone please step up and put gEDA on a Knoppix like bootable distribution. I'd do it but don't have the skills. It would make a great follow up to Richard Goering's EE times article about gEDA. New stable distributions for each tool and easy to try out! Look out big buck EDA vendors. :-) Maybe include a simple sample design that uses the entire design flow?
