Guys, i'm now trying to draw the PCB for my Ethernet system.
It's just a simple single layer PCB. What's the simplest program out there you all would recommend that is easy to pick up and contains a good size component library?

PCB design software is in the CAD (computer aided design) category, so this question should be on sci.electronics.cad When you get there look for Terry Pinnell's encyclopedic review of what's available.

Never get your PCB software from the company that wants to sell you boards. It's a scam to get you to design the board using their "free" software... then when you are done you find out that they are the only place that will make boards for you. Get your software from a software company so you can shop around for the boards.

the free demo version is plenty to get started with. But it may not be as simple as you hoped.
