Yeah, it works pretty good. I was surprised that it installs natively
on many different flavors on linux.
There are, of course, some gotchas, like recognizing on install into
CentOS to disable the Security-Enhanced Linux protections.
And the usb drivers for programming boards directly aren't
supported(read: don't work) on anything but a couple different versions
(like $$$ version of RHEL5,4). So you have to mess with libusb, fxload,
and a few other things.
Luckily, there is enough community support/forums for the common flavors
to get things working.
I installed it on Ubuntu 9.10 without (major) issue.
