I really like EDB (Evan's Debugger).

It has a nice 'OllyDBG feel', which was great because I used it quite a deal when I was still working on the windows platform.

EDB (Evan's Debugger) is a QT4 based binary mode debugger with the goal of having usability on par with OllyDbg. It uses a plugin architecture, so adding new features can be done with ease. The current release is for Linux, but future releases will target more platforms.
