here is what I found so far:

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.

Fedora (and derivatives): libobjc

Never heard of it.

The one that comes with the iOS SDK.

If you have a PC and patience, you could try to put MacOS on a PC.  Of course if you are one of those folks who actually reads the EULA then this isn't likely an option;  www.osx86project.org
