Mac OS X is based on BSD unix under all the pretty colours.
You could try a OS unspecific language like Perl or Java or try some web programming with PHP which are all available free for you on the mac.
Then you can carry on if you do switch to Linux.
PHP is a nice language to learn, Perl is a bit hairy, did Java for two years in college and it's quite interesting.

my 2 cents

in your distro's repository

or (instructions) here, depending on which language you want:
http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/download.html
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/
http://developer.apple.com/internet/...urce/perl.html
mac os x already has java, according to http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/java/
(all these links are obtained through googling and following not more than 1 link)

I'd recommend either C/C++ or Perl. All in all, it really depends on what you want to do.
