Re: gEDA-user: Vericad?

You can run PCB under cygwin rather easily. I believe gschem is stuck in the past with a very old mingw version(I could be wrong about this one, perhaps it's been updated recently).

I prefer myself to run Fedora Core 5 under VMWare Player. There are plenty of VMWare images available on the net so all you have to do is install VMWare Player(free) and then install gEDA and dependencies.

Performance is quite good and saves me from having a separate Linux box. And I can transfer the VMWare image from box to box w/o pain(desktop to laptop and so forth).

I tend to use the FOSS version just like I would a conventional drawing
desk/pencil/paper, and it works really well for that -- I've managed to do
some pretty complex drawings without too much brain-pain (or
mouse-finger-pain).
