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

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.
