	Since I am czech, the repo.or.cz was clear choice :-).

	Now there are few minor issues, some of them are already fixed
	in your branch. I will try to post another email describing them
	later today.

	We want to use gschem, gsch2pcb and PCB. I have to look to
	xgsch2pcb. I missed that one.

	Haven't you seen ebuild for xgsch2pcb somewhere around?

	We actually use Windows XP desktops..but for gEDA we have
	VirtualBox with linux installed. But this will probably change
	later on as we finish our switchover. Our previous EDA was
	formica.cz and it has only windows version.

	If we really start using it in general, you will definetly know
	as I will be talking here regullary :-).
