Please advise what/where I may test Spice under linux.
== TIA.
Recommended GPL-Spice under linux ?

Do you mean SPICE the circuit simulator?
Do you _really_ mean something that's GPL, or do you mean something that you can get for free-as-in-beer?
If you just want to simulate circuits on a Linux box, try LTSpice from Linear Technology, running under Wine. It's a vastly improved SPICE engine, you can get an executable for free, and AFAIK it works under Wine (I dunno -- I don't use it on any of my Linux boxes).

gEDA has two other simulators too - verilog and gnucap.
It's unlikely to be as mature as the packages suggested by the other (wiser) posters, but i've found Gnucap :

to be very usable and sufficient for my relatively modest (analog/filter) needs.

I second ngspice - I just used it a few days ago and it worked fairly well, at least for a few simple mosfet simulations.

I thought the old Fortran SPICE code was still available.
Though if you want to use more modern devices that may not work.
