I don't know. I last tried to use gEDA two or
three years ago, and it
wasn't mature enough then, so I bought Eagle. gEDA is reported to be
much better now, but since I already have Eagle I'm not inclined to
try it.

No, I was talking about gEDA. Pretty much all of the gEDA tools were
very crash-prone when I tried them, most notably gschem. I didn't
get far enough with those to even bother with PCB.
I fully expect that the gEDA tools are usable now, but at the time
they weren't, so I purchased Eagle.
