good freeware/open source circuit design software

I'm tired of working by hand on this stuff, anyone here have a favorite or know of a really good one?

Well, it is a student version, though is still very useful, and feature-rich:

well theres PWCT which is kind of like that i think
You can check out Fritzing:

It's very Arduino friendly, but afaik it's pretty high level, beginner friendly. You can work on circuits from a graphical standpoint or work on the circuit diagram itself.

Eagle is pretty good. I'm not sure if it's freeware though.
