Can anyone recommend a 2D CAD drawing application? Debian Etch here.

Re: 2D CAD   
QCAD

or you could use Xfig which is a capable general drawing program. Xfig has 
its own .fig format, but can export to various
common (and not so common) picture formats.

Thanks. I've now installed QCAD, and it looks like just what I need. I'll
give it a bashing...

Cheers,

I'll second QCad.  I've been using it for the last three months for 2D
drafting of engineering drawings to send to a precision machining
company, and I've been quite happy with it.
