   For schematic capture, "gEDA/gschem":
   http://www.geda.seul.org/

   For PCB layouts, "PCB":
   http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~haceaton/pcb/

   For the PCB package, be advised that the true current release isn't 
available from those web pages.  I have no idea why.  If you wind up 
wanting to grab it let me know and I'll dig up a pointer to the current 
stuff.  Or just google for "PCB 1.99j".
