7.1. gEDA

gEDA is a collection of packages for schematic capture, netlist generation, circuit simulation and PCB layout. Included in the geda suite are:
geda-docs - Documentation and example files
geda-gattrib - gEDA attribute editor
geda-gnetlist - Generates a netlist from a gEDA schematic
geda-symbols - A library of symbols for gEDA
geda-gschem - The gEDA schematic capture application
geda-gsymcheck - A symbol checker for schematics
In addition to the geda-utils utilities package, geda-gaf design automation package, and libgeda the gEDA library.
Closely tied into gEDA and mentioned elsewhere in this guide are:
pcb - The printed circuit board layout application
gerbv - Gerber viewer
gwave - The waveform viewer
ngspice - The circuit simulator
gspiceui - A GUI interface for ngspice
geda - gschem

Users wishing to take full advantage of gEDA should consider installing the Electronic Lab group which includes all the above components as well as the electronics-menu package and a number of other useful applications.
