Of course, there are some pretty good 100% free options: KiCAD and gEDA

The Fedora project just released a custom Live CD oriented toward
electronics development. It includes gEDA, as well as kicad, so this is a

original link at fedoraproject, but a quick google shows dozens of places it
can be downloaded from ... google on "Fedora Electronic Lab"
