Homebrew PCBs

hello, I use Linux and I am interested in building a PCB for a circuit 
that I did not design.
It is a 7106 A/D with LCD driver to be used as a thermostat with a diode 
and a 9 volt LM7809 volt regulator.

The circuit is based on Fig 18 on Page 13 of the following PDF>
http://www.cpdee.ufmg.br/~aguirre/datasheets/FN3082.PDF

there are a lot of little traces to connect between the 7106 and the 3.5 
digit LCD panel.

This will be run off of a car electrical system so the 12-14 volt input 
is being regulated by the 9 volt linear chip. 
I want to use the methods pointed out at this page for physical 
construction of the board>

PS if anyone has used this chip I am open to suggestions, I already have 
the chip, LCD and regulator.
I have a ton of resistors.

Thank you for your help and have a good day.
