Tool for making quick UI drafts

I'm looking for a tool that can be used for sketching UI (specifically web UI). The sketches/drafts can look as simple as if it was drawn by hand on a whiteboard.

Preferably, this tool should be free/open-source and run on Linux as well as on Windows, but this is not a must.

Could you recommend?

Balsamiq mockups is a free web app, or a commercial desktop version. (The desktop version is free under certain conditions, see the licensing details at the Balsamiq site).

The web app does not seem free. It is in private beta at the moment.

The desktop version can be had for free under several different conditions -- willingness to demo at a professional meeting, writing a genuine review on your blog, non-profit/charity work, etc. Check their licensing page.

I second the recommendation for Balsamiq.
