+QUCS
+--------
+
+QUCS is alright. It does verilog-a, I think it can load SPICE files, has a
+decent parts library, enables parametric plotting of circuit parameters, can do
+basic transmission line and PCB layout simulations, etc. I found "A Qucs
+Tutorial for RF" helpful for getting started; the default tutorial is also
+good.
+
+On debian wheezy, install the following (some are probably not necessary, like
+cmake):
+
+ sudo aptitude install libxml-libxml-perl libgd-gd2-perl zlib1g zlib1g-dev libgd2-xpm-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libxml-perl libqt4-dev libqt4-qt3support automake libtool gperf flex bison cmake
+
+Then follow the build directions at
+https://github.com/Qucs/qucs/wiki/Build-Linux. You don't need to set the
+``--prefix``, but you do need ``--enable-maintainer-mode``. You probably want
+to ``make -j8`` to build faster.
