I can recommend Samsung "yepp" players. I bought a yp-t6z last year and have been very happy with it, battery life is good (aaa batteries), plays ogg (+ a few others), linux is no problem, has line in recording (never used) and a microphone (never used). Was about $200 for the 1gb version (http://www.samsung.com/au/products/mp3players/mp3players/yp_t6z.asp) about 3 or 4 months ago, not sure how much the 512mb version is (http://www.samsung.com/au/products/mp3players/mp3players/yp_t6x.asp). No crappy index file like an ipod either, you just drop the files on it and groove away. My wife says it's ugly (it's v. v. small, a little boxy) but what would she know.
