Hi,
I have released the second official version of the gEDA Binary Suite
for x86 GNU/Linux. This binary suite has the following features:
* Should work on any GNU/Linux distribution released after October
2001.
* Will not interfere with your distribution's executables and
libraries.
* Installs and runs completely in user space.
* Does not require root access to install or run.
* Installation is a simple shell script and runs quickly.
* Uninstall is a simple recursive "rm".
* Currently contains the following programs from the gEDA project:
- gEDA/gaf (gschem and friends) v1.4.0
- gerbv v2.0.1
- pcb (both the gtk+ and lesstif versions) v20080202
- xgsch2pcb v0.1.2
The binary suite can be downloaded from:
http://geda.seul.org/dist/suite/v0.0.2/
Be sure to read the README for installation information.
Also, the gEDA project has been accepted into Google's Summer of Code
2008 as a mentoring organization. We are looking for university
students interested in working on electronic design CAD software for
the summer (and getting paid!). The gEDA project is a mature and
friendly free software project. Check out these links for more info:

The project page has a bunch of suggested projects, however, we are
always open to project ideas not listed on that page. Students
interested in participating have until March 31st to apply, so hurry!
