Lee,

I have assembled PIC code under Linux for several different Microchip microcontrollers using GPUTILS:

   http://gputils.sourceforge.net/

and have programmed them using Picprog:

  http://hyvatti.iki.fi/~jaakko/pic/picprog.html

Microchip's web site (http://www.microchip.com) provides datasheets, tutorials, and sample code for use by anyone interested in making use of their microcontrollers.  There are also on-line discussion groups (such as http://www.piclist.com) that provide VERY useful information.

I have also learned quite a bit by reading, "Programming & Customizing PICmicro Microcontrollers", by Myke Predko.

(Incidentally, it was the construction of my K2/100 in 2003 that was the driving force behind my getting interested in integrating PICs in many of my electronics projects.)
