Re: [AVR-Chat] Freebsd pcb and schematic tools

2004-03-03 by VA3TO

While we're on this topic...
Does anyone know if OrCad Capture/Layout comes in a Linux/Unix flavour ?
I am quite used to it and would like to migrate away from Windoze too.
Tnx.

Why don't you download the free version of Cadsoft Eagle
(http://www.cadsoft.de/) for Linux and see if it'll play 
under FreeBSD?
    
Yeap there is a port for FreeBSD, I am just not sure how "professional"
Eagle is ?

 
  
If it works, then you can licence a "professional" version of 
Eagle and fly with that.

If it doesn't work, you may have to "slum it" with Linux instead.

Wash your mouth out ;o)
