Keith Lofstrom replies:
Me, I use Smartspice as mentioned. I fiddled with ng-spice just enough to
make sure it compiled and ran. I don't know whether it comes with a
waveform viewer, or whether it works better with gwave. For these and
other GNU electronic cad tools, there are pointers at
http://www.geda.seul.org/

Probably the most interesting of these is Icarus Verilog. I'm not a logic
designer, but I do need an HDL simulator from time to time. There are also
some open source logic blocks out there.
I am interested in good schematic drawing packages to replace Orcad.
I hope to get time someday to look at gschem.
