Linux electronics circuit simulators

[pereczes]

even with the risk that somebody will hate me for the tens of posts I am starting, but this is my speed, please give me a cold shower
Had a look at Oregano, but documentation is poor. Got lost on forums.

Let's take a simple example: I have this LM393 and I want to implement a delay timer with it. Is it possible to simulate at least such a trivial circuit with any of this software?

The only Linux simulator that I have used is Qucs.  It had a lot of potential but it seems like the developers abandoned the project.

It's usable so you might give it a shot.  A lot of the circuits I tried to simulate wouldn't.  At least not without having to jack around with a bunch of parameters.

Screw all the native Linux sims, run SPICE in WINE. Works a treat

Edit - er... LTspice. Not just any SPICE.

Sounds like normal SPICE to me 

Guessing Qucs is based on... 3f5, or XSpice?  Which is the same basis for most any other flavor you'll cross today, give or take their own proprietary mods/extensions.

I use lts-pice in Wine on a linux mint 14 , works excellent

If you are comfortable with the spice syntax try ngspice http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/

Another vote for this.

This works great for me as well!
