The Migration toolkit is quick to convert and really slick at data mapping
and the like. It will tell you in detail about errors and let you fix the
SQL, but I never had any. it was a straight shoot and it took maybe 5-10
minutes of clicking mostly "next" and checking for errors. The previous
version recreated a lot of the MS hidden System tables. the new one doesn't.
It also converts other databases like Oracle. DB2 is in the works. So it's
not a toy tool.
It generates one SQL script for your data and one for your schema if I
remember right.

and yes, it runs on Linux. And like I said - it's free.
