Design and Schematic software

[Rontone]

I'm not great with computers in general, what programs would be recommended for schematic drawing, and circuit calculators, I found found a few good free ones and websites,

I have downloaded ExpressSCH, are there component packs somewhere to load into it, I can't find tube related parts in the menus,

I like Rob Robinettes and others layout drawing style with the coloured parts etc, what is that software? Or is it just a normal 'drawing' program with template parts loaded in?
