2014-11-24: Just testing an older Arduino Diecimila bought from Sparkfun. I'm using the blue usb cable that came with the Uno board. Connecting it to my linux laptop, the power LED lights, and a yellow LED (connected to pin 13) blinks.

and the Diecimila shows up in /var/log/messages as:

good. In the Arduino IDE (1.0.5) I select (from Tools, Board) Arduino Diecimila and (from Tools, Serial Port) /dev/ttyUSB0. then I compile and upload my modified blink program again. It works!
