I think I can say something here because I am drawing

your computer since you guys are computer geeks anyway!
A friend uses PCB heavily for his work, and PCB has been used for some
fairly high projects. It looks like good stuff. I've only fiddled with
it though.
But, I'd like to point out that the stuff will run on Solaris and likely
other OSs. No need to install linux just for that.
The cheap double side PCB will cost you $33 each
(http://www.33each.com) for 3 boards, and could be lower than $10 for
44 square inch boards with quantity of 100.
Sounds like a reasonable price.

That's pretty high. Best I've seen so far is $65 for 5 boards.

I forgot the name. See recent issues of EE Times, last few pages,
that's where the PCB fab ads are. This one comes with the
catch-phrase "5 - 13 - 5" as in 5 days, 13 dollars per board, batches
of 5 boards.

One need to define the "best" deal. For the price, that's the best
price/board I have seen. However, if you just want 2 boards, custompcb
will do 2 sided boards for $38.00, which is the lowest total price I'd seen.
