Linux users, rejoice! I have tested my iPhone 3GS (running 3.1.2) in linux, and got Rhythmbox to see and play music from the device. I have yet to attempt a sync, but that is short order once I get everything from the windows machine. There is a quick tutorial for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic users here:

After struggling with different packages and methodologies for about a month, I can finally say that finding that quick tutorial has saved me a lot of frustration. No need to jailbreak. NO need to do anything funky. the hardest part of that is really getting a UUID from the device. Sorry if you can't cut and paste.
Anyway, I'm happy as hell right now. It feels like I'm finally winning this battle with Wintel and Apple.
