Default Electrical schematics on Linux?

I have a couple of things that I have done and I want to write and
retain schematics of them. One is a fancy phase converter with two
idlers that are switched at different times. Another is a fancy wiring
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

Seems there are issues with "ubuntu" I have it because they all came with
Mandriva Powerpack. In fact all these programs did.

This is in development but looks simple to use.

The price is right to try.
