UML CASE tools

[Jim Herrmann]

Our company uses Rational Rose for UML modeling, and ERwin for DB 
modeling.  But now you're talking serious money for either of those 
tools.  Probably not what you're looking for, but I thought I would 
offer it up.  Have you looked at Dia?  It will draw boxes that you can 
connect.  You can't generate anything out of it, but it's got the 
boxes.  Open Office Draw will do boxes with connectors.

Google pointed me here:
Magic Draw  http://www.linux.org/apps/AppId_6831.html  ($149)

and here:

Good Luck,
Jim
