If you're trying EDA software, I found Kicad to be far easier to learn
and use than Eagle or Geda - and it's quite powerful these days.
I still run an expensive licensed version of Protel99 SE. It has a few
quirks, but is quite solid and the schematic vs. PCB checks are totally
perfect. Any weakness there can cost you serious $$$.
I inherited the CRAMPS board from Charles Steinkuehler, which he
designed in Kicad. While Kicad is not quite up to the level of
Protel99, it definitely is getting close. And, there has been a major
rev update since I tried it, so it is likely even better.
Like TurboCAD I still have Easy-PC on the windows machine which is going
to be a pig to port from, but those boards are unlikely to need any work
before I finally get to retire and start playing properly :)
