What an impressive looking article (I've only skimmed it so far).

I've been meaning to try my hand at CAD and designing models to print but I haven't quite made the jump.

One thing that has given me pause is a good CAD program for Linux, does anyone has any good tips for a complete Newbie where to begin?

I just got started recently with OpenSCAD - it's a different beast, but very useful for simple parametric designs. You write code to describe the form of your object - no clicking and dragging things at all.
