If you have a Kindle 3G, there is absolutely no need for a connection to any computer. Upon placing an order for a kindle book on Amazon.com the book is delivered wirelessly to the device. The device basically has a cell phone inside that operates on Sprint's CDMA network. This is all free of charge.
This way you get new content on the device without it ever touching a computer.
If you do live in an area where you don't have good CDMA reception or if have a WiFi only Kindle you can plug the kindle into any computer using a USB cable and it will basically just act as a USB flash drive. You will see all the files on the kindle and you just need to place the kindle books in the correct folder.
The kindle operates a Linux operating system so it should cause no issues connecting it to any OS whether it be Windows, Mac OSX, or any distro of Linux.
