your planning to buy a $1000 mic but you dont want to buy any kind of decent pre or interface that is crazy. ribbons need a lot of CLEAN gain from a quality pre, a cheapo pre wont do it.
i understand wanting to use linux but its just not going to happen with professional audio equipment, or most professional equipment for that matter. get your self a mac book, install X11 and compile your other apps for OS X you can install gnome or anything else if you want to, then you can buy a decent Firewire interface and then you can look at good mics pres etc
