Just saw that 3DS (Solidworks) have released a free 2d cad program (for individuals) and they have a deb and rpm install packages. (And it's also available for mac and windows) http://www.3ds.com/products/draftsight/download-draftsight/ haven't tried it out yet, but that's another reason for me to keep windows gone!

Had a play with this - this is way beyond even what AutoCAD LT was at a few years ago. Basically a total copy of AutoCAD 2009-ish (pre-ribbon) right down to commands and layout. Useful tool to have in the back pocket for those not lucky enough to have access to full free AutoCAD as students.
