I was wondering if anyone knows of any software I can use to code/control my
RCX through Linux. Surely someone must have ported the RCX Command Center to
Linux.

If you don't want to change firmware, Dave Baum's NQC is your best bet.
Check out <http://www.enteract.com/~dbaum/lego/nqc/> for more info.

You'll get more power using LegOS, but NQC is still quite capable.

Just to clarify further, the RCX Command Center uses NQC as its compiler
for generating RCX code.  If you liked the sort of programs you could
write in RcxCC, you'll be right at home with NQC.  Of course all of the
nice user interface features (syntax hilighting editor, direction control
of the RCX, etc) are missing when you use plain old NQC.
