If you've gotten bjam running on W2K, you should very little trouble 
running it on Linux. I say that based on my experience; I know next to 
nothing about Linux (or Unix), but was able to get various jamfiles working 
within a very short time after installing Red Hat Linux on a spare machine.

Also, so many boosters use that platform that it is really easy to get help 
if you need it.
