Kevin,
I have an eTrex that works just fine with Fedora. I had to get a PCMCIA serial
adapter for my laptop. Kind of clunky, but it works. I use Quantum GIS to
download/upload the gps data.
The eTrex is a bit slow on aquiring sats. It can be fairly accurate if you can
track a WAAS sat. I got the 3m accuracy while I was down south. Haven't used it
much around here. Would like to get one with a better antenna, though.
Great price if you just want to tinker around with GPS....
