Seth,

I have also recently been introduced to PIC programming as it is what
I'm going to doing in my Advanced Electronics class at school this
semester.  I've also found the same resources as you.  There's another
site with some links to other Linux-PIC programming that you can try as
well:
http://www.yty.net/pic/enindex.html

Anyway, my point is...please forward on the Linux-PIC info you find as
it will help me out too.

'Till then, happy hacking!
