Does anyone know of a good schematic program for Linux? I don't need anything fancy. Just needs to have a decent symbol library that includes, obviously, vacuum tubes. Thanks for any help.

I've always used GIMP.
Even now, stuck on Windows, I installed GTK and GIMP
Here are some copy/paste schematic symbols for you:

Eagle from Cadsoft works great on Linux. The free version has some restrictions, but
for most hobby purposes, it works just fine

Forgot about this one, too:

Why not make your own set of schematic symbols using Inkscape?
I did this. In the attachment there is an example.
