According to my local Mac Guru, he agrees that the Mac Mini is the cheapest way to get into iOS development (~$600). The iOS SDK is free. You would also need to pay for a dev acct to be able to submit completed programs to the App Store ($100). This is needed even if you build an app and release it for free.

Not really. If you're programming for iOS, you're writing against the UI that iOS provides. Linux doesn't provide the same user interface. That said, Objective-C is available for both.
