I need a good program for Ubuntu that helps in understanding and designing electronic circuits, diodes et all. Any such?

@Desi-Tek.com = You mean gDesklet items? its in App~ > Access~ > gDesklets

 

[JGuru]

@Prakash, Thanks for that update for Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft.
@QwertyManiac, There are lot of software package related to 'Electronics' in the Electronics (Universe) & Electronics (multiverse) section in the Synaptic Package Manager.

Packages like:

avrp - Programmer for Atmel AVR microcontrollers
geda - GNU EDA -- Electronics design software
gnucap - GNU Circuit Analysis package
gnusim8085 - Graphical Intel 8085 simulator, assembler and debugger
klogic - digital circuit editor and simulator for KDE
ksimus - KDE tool for simulating electrical circuits
nitpic - Simulator for the Microchip PIC16C84 microcontroller
odyssey - PIC microcontroller programming application
xcircuit - Draw circuit schematics or almost anything

And plenty more!!

 

[QwertyManiac]

Thats a quite nice list JGuru, thanks a lot.

 

[JGuru]

@Qwerty, You are welcome.
@Desi-Tek, What Desktop Applets do you need?

 

[mediator]

Thats a nice list of electronics packages @Jguru!

 

[caleb]

WOW...I see that u posted this a long time ago but I just saw it today...very impressive & exhaustive list...I just got ahold of ubuntu, so I'll be loading it @ 1pm today...so if u can answer the following ? b4 that I'd b greatfyl: can i load ubuntu on an external hdd & still run it smoothly? Thanks in advance.

 

[JGuru]

@Mediator, Thanks for the appreciation. Ubuntu packs 3 DVDS of packages in it's repository!!!
That's more than enough for any Linux enthusiast.

@Caleb, Loading Ubuntu from a external HD is possible. Go to BIOS , change the first Boot device as "USB".
Save the changes. Since you have a NVidia GC, better boot Ubuntu in Safe Graphics Mode.
Why you want to have Ubuntu installed in external HD? I think you definitely have some space left
in 160 GB SATA HD. Have atleast 10 GB of unpartitioned space, while partitoning in Ubuntu,
select the option 2 Use the largest continuous free space. Ubuntu will allocate space
automatically. Or you can also manually allocate space. Allocate 8 GB for root ('/') & 1.5 GB for swap.

@Prakash: Can i use your second sources.list for my Dapper drake 64bit. Are the repositery addresses same for 64 bit and 32 bit?

 

[mehulved]

@baccilus use sourco-matic that I have posted in the guides to different distros and you will get the required repos for your sources.list.

Thanx and Regards,
