Due to license specifics some tools like ngspice cannot be distributed by Debian. However, the geda suite iso image will work nicely on Debian, if you have have prepared your box by installing some development packages.

 109 If there are no current packages for your distribution available, the recommended method is installation from the “gEDA Tools Suite” CD-ROM, prepared by Stuart Brorson. The latest version of this CD-ROM is available on-line for free download as an <acronym title="International Organization for Standardization">ISO</acronym> image from the <a href="http://www.geda.seul.org/download.html" class="urlextern" title="http://www.geda.seul.org/download.html"  rel="nofollow">gEDA Downloads</a> web-page.

 112 <p>
 113 Burn this <acronym title="International Organization for Standardization">ISO</acronym> image to a CD-ROM using your favorite CD burning software. Insert the CD-ROM, and if your computer supports autodetection of the CD-ROM, the built-in installation wizzard will launch.

 126 For those already familiar with the gEDA/gaf applications and those who need the latest stuff, access to the <acronym title="Concurrent Versions System">CVS</acronym> repository is available. This is the latest developer source-code version of the application.<br/>
 127  Installation from <acronym title="Concurrent Versions System">CVS</acronym> is appropriate for those:

 129 <ul>
 130 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Seeking a solution to a specific problem that was submitted to the development team, to test the “fix” so that the developers can be informed that the “fix” works.</div>

 133 </li>
 134 </ul>
 135
 136 <p>
 137  This usually requires access to several existing designs known to work in the current stable release of the gEDA Tools, so that comparisons can be made and issues brought to the attention of the developer/user community (via the e-mail lists or the bug tracker).
