2\$\begingroup\$ Do you mean resources for developing on Linux, or resources for developing games that run on Linux? \$\endgroup\$ – Chris Garrett Jul 16 '10 at 14:31

Blender might be worth checking out, both for asset creation and for the game engine it offers.

I'm not much of a Linux guy, but these are my recommendations based on research and experience:
Programming
- Eclipse IDE for code editing and project management.
- Java.
- GCC.
- Python.
- OpenGL.
Programming Libraries
- Java2D.
- SDL.
- PyGame.
- Allegro.
Art
- The Gimp (bitmap).
- Inkscape (vector graphics).
- Blender (3D).
Sound
- Audacity.
- LMMS (Linux Multimedia Studio).

1\$\begingroup\$ Ardour which is a digital audio workstation is worth taking a look at as far as sound goes \$\endgroup\$ – Steve Obbayi Jul 14 '10 at 22:17

\$\begingroup\$ @Steve Ardour has certainly come a long way since the last time I had a look at it. Not quite what I am after as the MIDI stuff is lacking compared to Apple Logic Studio, but not bad all the same. \$\endgroup\$ – Cromulent Jul 16 '10 at 2:45
