KiCAD is the best alternative to the free version of Eagle. Is a complete open-source suite. It wold be a gain if boards and schematics are delivered in this format. Works under Linux and Win (the Mac version have big problems). Is even easy to draw a schematic than in Eagle and it have a very nice part editor.
As a separate pcb layout program in Linux (it have versions for Win and Mac) the best is PCB designer. gschem from gEDA is not a good alternative. For pdf tutorials where breadboards are used, and you don't have your camera at hand, Fritzing is a convenient alternative.
