For Linux, check out gEDA (geda.seul.org).  It is an open-source package with schematic capture, simulation, layout, etc.  I haven't actually used it (yet), but it has an active developer community and you can't beat the price ;-)

Same over here. I use (used) Protel as a hobbyist, board designs are only
one-of and for my own personal use. Therefor I was not to concerned about
using an illegal version (as a plus I will tell others how good Protel is
:-) )

I am however getting into problems soon. I want to design a board for
'commercial' use and that's definitely not taking place using any illegal
software so I now have to search for other schematic entry and PCB design
tools that I can use for this.
Numbers and price will be this low that I cannot afford to buy Protel,
Pulsonix or Orcad so I started looking at free (Linux based) tools for
this.

Anyone having experience with these kind of tools (which ones are
available???). I need schematic entry plus PCB design for combined SMD and
through hole mounting components. I can do without autorouting and 2
layers should be enough (4 is nice) and it must be able to export
datafiles for production (never did this before).
And before I forget: I do not like to use the "1000 pin limit demo
versions", I always tend to need just that one pin more ...

Rob - would buy Protel/DXP if I could afford it
