[gEDA](http://www.geda-project.org/) is a collection of free software tools for Electronics Design. Unlike other EDA tools, gEDA is designed to be a collection of tools that can work together, rather than a single large monolothic tool.

2. [gnetlist](Gnetlist) is the Netlister 2. [gnetlist](Gnetlist) is the Netlister
3. [[gEDA-PCB| PCB]([gnetlist]])] is a PCB Layout tool 3. [PCB](pcb) is a PCB Layout tool. A [fork](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(software_development) of pcb called [pcb-rnd](pcb-rnd) adds new, advanced, and experimental features.
