I find that command-line avr-gcc and avrdude work great on Mac OS X for programming xmega; Should work equally well under linux.

Which avrdude version with which programmer? My earlier attempts had numerous issues with PDI on the AVR ISPmk2 – theatrus Aug 12 '10 at 6:26

Use Eclipse + AVR-GCC plugin + AVR-GCC Toolchain and it should all work pretty great. This link has some advice on building and setting up the toolchain. You will (obviously) also need a programmer, and there are lots of options, but I use the AVR-ISP mkII. I will caveat this by admitting I've only developed for AVRs in windows, but using the same set of tools...
