If you are looking for a wide data feed in the low-to-mid $1000's-ish pricing, NxCore is a nice system that runs great under Wine, which is a Windows API emulator.

Other Windows data feeds also may run under Wine, or at the least VMWare.

There are some higher-priced full feeds, such as Activ and QuantHouse, that run natively on Linux.
 
Chances are you can also find data providers who can give you real-time data via FIX. The QuickFix and QuickFix/J libraries can be used on Linux to interface with anyone providing FIX connectivity.

314,

I like QuickFix, but does anyone disseminate quotes via regular FIX (which is pretty inefficient for large volumes of data)? Or are you speaking of FAST FIX?

I think Spryware will disseminate quotes via FAST FIX, but as far as I know that's the only one, and I think that's quite an expensive/high-end solution as my understanding is that they sell just software, and you need to buy the data, separately, from the source(s).
 
If you are looking for something a little less expensive, I can report that DTN IQFeed runs on Linux using wine. I've only had it running for a few days, but it has been flawless during that time. OS is Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit. 32 bit IQFeed.

You're right--I don't know of anyone who disseminates quotes in bulk via FIX; I guess I must have not read quantparis's question very closely, or it was really late. :p
 
Pretty easy ;) Not for stocks, but futures and forex.

* Open account with someone allowing you access via Rithmic'c API
* Use Rithmic's API - they also provide market data.

RIthmic is developing on Linux so comes out there, first ;)
