I pinged a friend of mine who uses a free package for his home startup company. Here's his reply:

I use Eagle from www.cadsoft.de. Eagle produces 2-sided PCBs about 3x4inches for free. As with any package, there is a learning curve to overcome, but it is a very capable package. I purchased the pro package so I can larger multilayer PCBs.
