So my project is very small... and I've found a long list of free PCB
software... but a list of software does you nothing without opinions...
so... here's the list:

Have any of you used these freeware programs?  Which do you find is the
easiest to use?  I've never done PCB layout before so one that offers the
most help to a newbie (read: complete PCB idiot) would be best =)

Also, any reading material on PCB design would be greatly appreciated!
