Thanks Chen, Yes, I have a JDM style programmer and I'm referring to the DL4YFH Winpic. The reason I like WinPIC is that it supports many interfaces and devices. The reason I asked this question is that one of my friends just built PIC-E (a www.tapr.org kit) and that uses PIC as a serial to AX.25 protocol converter. He wanted to setup a linux platform to program that kit. I'll take a look at the linux programmer that you suggested. I'm sure wisp is a great programmer and might build it.
