Linux: Ubuntu Hardy Heron (LTS), running on Core Duo T2500 (2Ghz), Intel 945GM built in video chipset. My Cairo version of PCB is still slow :( I've built and run on AMD64 SuSE 10.2 as well. > * How did you install your copy of geda apps? >From git, in $HOME/gEDA.

What is your typical workflow? gschem->pcb, probably via xgsch2pcb as I can never remember off the top of my head what goes in a .gsch2pcb project file. Most of my hierarchy block symbols are created with a modified version of djboxsym from a Makefile. Repeated blocks (various channels in an input stage etc..) might be auto-generated with sed and a Makefile from one master-schematic. > * Did you (have to) modify portions of geda to suit your needs? Yes, gschem zooming defaults (finer steps), PCB.. got bored loosing tracks underneath tracks, and coded a cairo implementation. (SLOW). Also, various non-default settings in gschemrc. I modified PCB's CAM output to help co-operate with the low-quality CAM software our in-house board guys use, but that didn't help in the end - I got it wrong. I now use gerbv to re-export PCB's plated drill file in a more format more amenable to the board guys. > * What is the general flavor of your projects?
