I took a couple of pictures on two PCBs that I made with gEDA and PCB, figured someone might be interested to see how they came out;

Those are some very good-looking boards. Nice work!
I made two separate layouts in PCB and then combined both to one panel and had Advanced Circuits fab the PCB. It was easy enough to cut the panel myself into the two circuit boards. The functions of the daq_conn board is to act as a connection box for a data acquisition board to allow connecting several DSUB connectors into one DAQ board. This is basically just a bunch of connectors. The second design is for discharging rechargeable batteries with a variable load while measuring the discharge current. There are also some watchdog functionality on that board later board.
The battery-discharge board sounds interesting and useful. Are you planning on making the design available?
