The professor recommends using Microsoft's MASM, but we can use whatever we want, as long as it's for the Intel x86 series. My question then is what is a good (better?) alternative to this in Linux? I'm new to assembly, so I'm not sure what I need. Searching through my SuSE packages, I see a few that look like they would work called "asl" and "as86" (IIRC)

you're going to go with a free one.
