there isn't, then creating one would probably be a big step towards your
target of more skilled People.
A small cheap PCB that I can connect to the USB Port of my Linux box,
that comes with all the software needed and that after working trough a
tutorial can then blink an LED would be a great thing to help people
start playing with FPGAs.
Well, there is this thing, which sounds like it might be
what you're looking for:
DE0-Nano - Altera Cyclone IV FPGA starter board $99.95
"The package comes with a single DE0 Nano development board,
mini USB cable (you can program and power the module over USB)
and two CDs with the software necessary to 'compile' and 'upload'
code to the board. The software is available for Windows and Linux
computers (no Mac)"
It has DIP switches, LEDs, 3-axis Accelerometer, IO pins, ...

You are right that www.adafruit.com states that Linux Software would be
available. But it then points to the Download section of the producers
homepage. And the Software there (both the Control Panel and the CD-ROM)
is M$ Windows only.
Have you seen the Linux Software? Do you have a link?

The control panel and system builder won't let you actually build "code"
for the board. For that you need Altera's Quartus, which is available
for Linux.
