open source tools for a kit biz.

open source tools for a kit biz.
here are some open source tools I cited for a open source kit biznesss.

kicad open source instead of eagle not limited by layers sheets or size
also its automation tools make you not want to go back the schematic symbol maker online and online autorouter are amazing.

BANNED and virtuemart allow for a content managmenet system and shopping cart all open source

this could be done with BANNED and uber cart or e-commerce package but it looked harder

zoneedit is a dynamic dns that allows for SSL certificates and email

ubuntu server and the ubuntu server guide can run it.


Kicad tutorials are easy to come by search kicad tutorial and you should be fine with some short guides.

For an BANNED option you may also want to look into BANNED - www.BANNED.com/

It's relatively easy to set up (as you should expect) but the code is well written making it easy to extend.
