I had a xoom and took it back.  It's not anywhere near ready for 
primetime yet.  The apps tend to crash, no cisco vpn client, etc..  As 
far as file transfer, it does not do usb mass storage, it uses MTP.  You 
can easily install mtpfs on your linux box and use that to mount your 
xoom.  That being said, as I mentioned before, I took mine back :)
Ymmv.
