gEDA-user: Vericad?

[Mike Hansen]

You can run PCB under cygwin rather easily.  I believe gschem is stuck in 
the past with a very old mingw version(I could be wrong about this one, 
perhaps it's been updated recently).

I prefer myself to run Fedora Core 5 under VMWare Player.  There are plenty 
of VMWare images available on the net so all you have to do is install 
VMWare Player(free) and then install gEDA and dependencies.

Performance is quite good and saves me from having a separate Linux box.  
And I can transfer the VMWare image from box to box w/o pain(desktop to 
laptop and so forth).
