Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I found Qucs 
mentioned in the FEL docs. I have decided to start with that 
as it has a very intuitive GUI, appears to have a fast 
learning curve, and supports circuit simulations.

By following the qucs help documents, I have done a simple 
DC simulation similar to the one in this video below.

Thanks for all the other suggestions which I have bookmarked 
and will start to check out if Qucs cannot handle what I 
need it for.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts

Thanks for reminding me about FEL!

I might install individual packages from that, like electric 
and test them out.

Kind Regards,

Keith

Thanks for that Pete. I have installed the Freeware version 
of EAGLE, and it looks really good.

Will check out the others as well.

Thaks to everyone that has replied to my thread.

I just need a CAD program to design simple audio circuits, 
like a passive mixer.

Here's an interesting circuit:

http://www.epanorama.net/circuits/linemixer.html

It would be nice if the CAD program can give me some idea of 
the gain achieved, as I change various components. I would 
like to print out the circuit diagram as well. Another plus 
would be the option to convert a working standard circuit 
diagram layout, into the equivalent layout for using strip 
board.

I'll check out the suggest CAD packaages and get back to the 
list with my findings.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts

I've been using xcircuit for years, and found it to be fast, fairly easy to 
learn, and quite useful. Not so great if what you're trying to do is capture to 
perform SPICE simulations, but a really great 2D drawing tool.

There are additional parts libraries for it available online, and it's not hard 
to create your own, either. Output/working files are Postscript, so they're 
easily opened and converted in GIMP if needed.

I haven't used it yet, so I don't really know what it's like.

I use Eagle CAD on my Mac and I know that there is a linux version.  I'm 
pretty sure that we also use this on out student RHEL5 labs.  They have 
a free version that is really pretty comprehensive.
