Ubuntu (without 'arduino' package)
Tested with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 10.10, but should work with older releases.
download and install the latest release (скачать, где Linux 32 bit)
install the compiler (gcc-avr) and the libraries (avr-libc) packages: sudo apt-get install gcc-avr avr-libc
if you use the USB port to dialog, you should add yourself to the group 'dialout' in order to have write permissions on that port: sudo usermod -aG dialout <myuser>
