Eagle is highly recommended and the free version is quite useful for most hobby class projects.

The use of eagle for hobby stuff is pretty much universal.

I would say *widely used*--but yeah.

DJ Delorie is one of the authors of "PCB" which runs natively on Linux and under Cygwin on Windoze. It is open source software and is free (libre and gratis) but because it is free do not think it is limited.
Last I checked, Terry Porter's site was down but Terry has posted some links to photos of significant work he has done with gEDA/PCB (as a professional).

Please recommend a basic PCB and schematic layout software for the occasional hobbyist to fabricate mostly single layer PCBs? Any advise and links appreciated. TIA

Which though excellent won't pick up many occasional hobby users until they do a free version. As I keep telling them- two sides, 250 pin limit (they seem stuck on pins as the limit), and it will be enough for serious evaluators to produce a trial PCB and decide to buy the full package. Which the functionally unlimited (except it won't save) evaluation they have now is useless for.
