You have a couple of choices:
DesignSpark, Kicad and Diptrace, though I think Diptrace is like Eagle,
it has certain limitations.
Kicad and DesignSpark have no limitations, but DesignSpark only works on
Winblows.
Kicad works on everything Win, Mac, Linux.
Kicad is by far the better choice IMO.

I did a review of some of the free cad software available on my blog.
