I dont use Linux yet but I know that there is Alias|Wavefront Maya, Softimage and also Wings3d which is actually free. Maya actually has a learning edition too which is free.

Blender is the king of 3D on Linux.

And not only Linux. I find it much more productive and flexible than Lightwave, and i'd rather use Python to script it than some "LScript" any day.
