Eagle from Cadsoft.de is a pretty decent (and free for
educational/hobby use) integrated schematic capture and board
layout package (including a quite usable auto-router).  It
doesn't have integrated simulation, but after messing about
with both gEDA and Eagle for an hour or two the you get a good
feel for the difference between an integrated tool-set and
something cobbled together from disparate utilities.
