Mike Szczys wrote a quick-start guide for connecting the Bus Pirate to Ubuntu Linux. He used the Minicom terminal and recommends some custom UDEV rules to assign a persistent port name.
Thanks for the tips!

It looks like some people are having problems with the ds30 Loader GUI for the Bus Pirate v4 bootloader on Linux or Mac with Mono, and many would prefer not to install Mono at all.
pppd cooked up a simple console application (updated version here) for the v4 bootloader in Linux and MacOSX (and Windows). Follow the link for instructions, source, and precompiled binaries.
If you test the console app, please let us know how it goes. After some testing we’ll package it with the normal firmware archive downloads.

blue.zener demonstrates some handy Linux UDEV foo that assigns the Bus Pirate to /dev/bus_pirate, instead of the boring /dev/ttyusb. This can be used to give any device a more memorable name under Linux.
Thanks for the tip!

See the latest version in the documentation wiki.
Bus Pirate firmware updates can be done from Linux or OSX using the Python PIC24F programmer developed by broeggle and JoseJX. The programmer works on all operating systems that support Python and pySerial: Linux, OSX, and Windows, too. Thanks for a great script!
Our step-by-step guide to the Python PIC24F programmer continues after the break.
