Eagle PCB is developed under Linux and ported to Mac and some other OS
that escapes me at the moment.  It is Proprietary and Closed.  There is
a free educational / demo version.

Samples of EAGLE CAD output, from one of my projects, are here:
http://www.dyoh.com/?q=node/view/23 about half way down the page.

The canonical FLOSS electronic CAD system is gEDA.  I have not used it.

I could do a board layout (and manufacture) for you but would not allow
publication unless:
- the board has been manufactured and tested (and works!)
- publication is not exclusive.  

So what is your schedule?
