Anyone know if we will be able to run whatever IDE they give us on Linux? All the software available now runs on Linux, so I am hoping whatever FIRST gives us will, too.

Its likely going to be NetBeans (which is awesome!), and that runs on Linux. The problem is that Eclipse does as well, and there definitely wasn't Linux support this year for C/C++ (I blame WindRiver).
Everything they use is probably going to come directly from the SunSPOT project, which is definitely cross platform. Even if FIRST doesn't provide the software for us, there's a good chance we'll be able to get it ourselves, assuming they don't brand it in some horrible way (i.e., the FIRST downloader).
