I want to program that specific microcontroller (MSP430F2274) and i would like to hear your opinion on what programmer to choose . I prefer one that can be used with a linux machine.
So what you suggest me ?
Thank you.

The MSP430 can be programmed with either four-wire JTAG or a two-wire TI-specific variant called Spy-Bi-Wire. The official programmer-debugger is called the MSP-FET, which supports both four-wire JTAG and Spy-Bi-Wire. If this is for commercial development, you probably want to use this programmer.
For production purposes, TI sells the MSP-GANG 8-controller in-circuit gang programmer.
If you're just a hobbyist, however, the MSP430 can be programmed (Spy-Bi-Wire only) using the MSP430 Launchpad dev kit. DIP package versions can be plugged into the board for programming. For SMT versions, break the Spy-By-Wire pins out to a header on your PCB and make a cable so you can make the appropriate connections to the Launchpad. I've done this with a couple of boards and it is fairly effective.
