The last thing you want to do when starting with PIC is to debug your
programmer. I believe PICkit 2 is a much better choice than TLVP even though
some people would really like to make their own programmer. PICkit 2
is well supported by pk2/pyk/piklab under Linux.

Device support of PICkit 2 under Windows:

Next version of pk2-3.xx will support many more PICs under Linux
by supporting the version 2.xx firmware of PICKit 2.

By the way, PICkit 2 is now on sale. You can get the bare programmer
for US$28 and the bundle (with 44pin 16F917 board or 20pin 16F690 board)
for US$40.
