Free Software:
QCad
http://www.ribbonsoft.com/qcad.html
Uses native DWG file format.
Claims to be a professional CAD application, IMHO _very_ optimistic. 
But it is a very good sketcher and comes along with well done 
documentation (qcad-doc).
May be instaled via apt-get / synaptic.

Propretary Software:
VariCAD
http://www.varicad.com/
Professional 2D / 3D CAD Tool.
Uses native DXF Format
And due to my experience damned fast, faster than Autodesk AutoCAD.
