6.4 CAD

QCAD (GPL): http://www.qcad.org (simple but useful for small drawing or learning)
OCTREE (free for non-commercial applications): http://www.octree.de/html/frames/eng/f_octree.htm
VariCAD (proprietary commercial, a free 15-day trial version available for download, geared towards mechanica design): http://www.varicad.com/
VARKON (LGPL): http://www.varkon.com/
Microstation (proprietary): http://www.microstation.com/academic/products/linux.htm--the academic edition of Microstation includes the Linux version of their excellent CAD system (better than AutoCad).

There is also something called "LinuxCAD" but it appears to be a rip-off (not recommended).
