I have a couple of things that I have done and I want to write and

scheme for my compressor, to permit "on demand" vs "continuous" run,
as well as a start button to prevent unintended starts.

I did it without drawing schematics just by keeping it in my head.

In any case, I still remember how I did my phase converter 4 years
ago, but I do not want to rely on my memory.

So. Is there some easy to use Linux software that is available under
ubuntu, that I could use to draw electrical schematics.

thanks
What is the matter with a pencil and paper?????


Nothing wrong.

Personally, I like to keep everything in the computer, that way I do
not lose it.


No? Please tell us about your backup scheme! g


I back up to a USB drive.

I also back up to work using rdiff-backup.

I also back up to another computer in the house.

All of this is done nightly and is verified.

I also like to change hard drives every three years or so.
