I need to set up a Linux server(thinking of using Ubuntu 11) which can 
provide AutoCAD or similar software to client machines running Windows 
which can connect to the server using the network. I don't need to worry 
about the hardware part of the server as that department which needs 
this setup will be providing it.

The client's Windows machines are not on a domain, are standalone and 
connected to the network. Max number of clients connecting to the server 
will be 100. The server does not need to be accessible or visible 
outside the internal network. We have static IPs for all machines on the 
network

I have not setup a Linux server before so any suggestions would be 
appreciated. I am going through the link at 
http://www.itpro.co.uk/87709/setting-up-a-linux-server-on-a-windows-network 
and other links in Google which explain how to set up a Linux server 
from scratch
