As far as CAD programs are concerned: there's Microstation, Arcad and some
other free implementations. There are plenty of books available, I find it
hard to recommend a certain one. Maybe you should start with "Linux for
Dummies" (no pun intended) or "Running Linux". You should have a look at
your local book store.
