yep, it's nice but has no magnitude limits for DSOs (at least the version I've got) and it is pretty slow.
Xephem is a lot more capable (but steeper learning curve).
Xplns is a good fast and simple planetarium program for Unix & Linux (don't think it will control telescope).
Cartes du ciel should also work on linux but don't quote me on that.
