ok, time for my shameful plug of the year.
there are a number of links for various types of cad software.

please forgive the banners, it was a necessary evil.

an article that i did(was supposed to go into LJ but got bumped) :-(
http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue54/frost.html
alot of the same information as the web page.

Varimetrix and Bentley both seem to have quietly drop their linux products.
