I think the PIC kit2 is supported to a degree in Linux, but not as
well as by the official software.  I've got a PIC kit 2 programmer
too, and it's about three times as fast at programming a PIC than the
much more expensive PICstart plus development programmer.

What do you think of the MPLAB IDE development environment?
Personally I think it's bloatware when all you require is a compiler
and programmer interface.
