Hi Guys

   Up to a few years ago I had used Eagle to produce a number of test 
boards.  It work great, then, but the newer versions on Debian did nor 
autoroute and the ratsnest function seemed messed up.

   I recently switched to Diptrace on a Windbloz box and then I found 
out it worked on Linux under Wine.  It has a very good autorouter, a 
large library, and seems to be more user friendly then eagle.  I will 
use whatever the group decides to use but thought that I should mention 
DipTrace for those that don't know about it.

<http://www.diptrace.com/>  It is over there on your side of the pond.
