A great distro for Electronic RF or digital Engineers

Chitlesh Goorah a post graduate student at a French University did some really good work to put together several packages related to electronic design through a distribution called Fedora Electronic Lab .


Based on the new Fedora 8, with an KDE look we can find packages for:
  • Sparameters , AC simulation DC simulation or Digital simulation with QUCS, or gEDA
  • PCB software with PCB, KiCAD
  • you can also do some digital simulation and IC design and layout with the alliance package.

All of these packages are all under open source. The iso CD image of this distribution can be downloaded through the torrent link . It gives you the image of a live CD which would turn your PC into a live EDA platform.
it includes one of my favorite RF software, QUCS.

This distribution helps us to put together all of these package without having to worry about playing with make and command lines.

A great way to encourage more Engineering people to join the open source projects.

thanks to Chitlesh Goorah
and lets help him to continue the good work.
