An exercise in moving on from the Arduino: -
- use of a more flexible IDE: Eclipse CDT (C/C++ development tools)
- cross-platform development: -
- on windows boxes using WinAVR
- on Linux boxes using avr-gcc
Setting up Eclipse on Linux
Largely the same as on Windows - not too surprising really since Eclipse is nicely platform neutral. There are certain GCC AVR packages required but they're well explained and a doddle to set up.

Alternatively for Arduino only development, there are efforts to create an Arduino Eclipse plugin that does a lot of the annoying manual setup for you and may be quicker to get going initialy (since it just points to all the tools and settings under your Arduino installation)
TODO: I should write a specific wiki page on this subject.
