Sounds like I might have missed some microcontroller "fun" at the meeting.
The Microchip PIC line (some of them) also enjoy decent Linux support.
Here's just a jumble of links -- not organized, but tons of info here.

LOL... I'll stop now. Microcontrollers are great toys... there aren't
enough hours in the day for me to have tried out even half of the above.
And I still have a Windows-based machine with the PIC development
stuff too... (Somewhat outdated, I need to update, but I haven't written
any microcontroller code in a while now, been WAY too busy...)
