“gEDA is a collection of tools which are used for electrical
circuit design, simulation and prototyping/production. The gEDA
project was started because of the lack of free EDA tools for UNIX.
The tools are being developed mainly on GNU/Linux machines, but
considerable effort is being made to make sure that gEDA runs on
other UNIX variants.”
