The only pitfall is that only AVR Studio on Windows is able to upgrade
the STK's firmware.  Make sure you've got a recent firmware version on
it so you get all the fixes for known bugs.

Otherwise, avrdude is the method of choice for Unix-like operating
systems.  I don't have an idea about how well the Ubuntu toolkit is
maintained here.  Version 5.5 is the most recent release of avrdude.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
