Anyone know of a good linux/foss package for reading FASTA data files
and rendering trees?.
First you'll need to take your FASTA files get an alignment. Good
packages for that are mafft and Muscle.
Then take your alignment infer your tree. To do that, one good package
is PhyML.

PhyML isn't strictly speaking open source, but it's free.
To actually draw a picture, an easy to use package is FigTree

If you are an R user, I'd recommend the `ade4' and `ape' packages to do
related things.
