Linux supports threads. Has since kernel v1.3.56. There are at least 2 thread libraries available: LinuxThreads, clthreads. LinuxThreads seems more popular - possibly because it tries to be POSIX? There is even a "Linux Clone Project" [the name refers to the clone() call].
Never used threads myself - looks interesting though.
