For schematic capture take a look at xcircuit. I have been using Cadence
Capture at work and years ago I used AutoCad for my drawings.
Anyone who uses the Cadence products knows that they have extensive features
but they are also very expensive.
I am more productive drawing the schematics that I do with xcircuit (GNU GPL)
than with either the Cadence or Autodesk products. Granted, autocad is not
designed for schematic capture and a bit awkward to use for such.
Xcircuit does generate nice schematics and the newer versions generate
netlists that you can use for spice.
Spice 3f5 can be found on disk 3 of Mandrake 8.2! (as well as all over the web)
Xcircuit is available at:

I hear xfig is useful for mechanical drawings but I've not used it....
