Try oregano and gnucap. This combo is more newbie friendly than geda, and it is still free/open-source. GPL. I agree that geda is not appropriate for the beginner. I wish I could recommend it to beginners, but there are too many little things that experienced people can work around, that are show-stoppers for beginners. gnucap is more newbie friendly than spice. It lets you play with the circuit. You can ask for help here, or the gnucap help email list. It is linked to the geda web page, or you can go to http://www.gnucap.org. The home page, in Spanish, for oregano is http://arrakis.gforge.lug.fi.uba.ar/ I am not aware of one in English. Oregano is a lightweight compared to geda in its features, but it is easier to use and that is what you want now. This combo is still not as mature as the commercial offerings, but I think it will do what you want. I understand your frustration. Everyone goes through it.
