If you value ogg compatibility, I suggest http://www.jetaudio.com/ I own a M3, it was 30 dollars cheaper than the equivalent iPod (in terms of storage size) when I bought it, and has served me well. the JetAudio/iAudio also has a considerable linux userbase, AFAIK, (almost) all their products can be mounted as USB mass storage devices, and firmware upgrades requires copying a file to the right directory on the device. They also have nice user forums, where the company would post instructions (like a miniHOWTO for updating firmware using linux and such).
