If you want to stitch photographs into panoramas on linux, install the hugin package + dependencies. hugin is an easy to use cross platform GUI for panorama tools.
The fedora packages are also available via yum.
Most of these packages are in the process of being included in fedora extras. Until then, there are some (untested) fc6 i386 packages here: http://www.zacharywhitley.com/linux/rpms/fedora/core/6/.
hugin and libpano12 are both part of Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft).
There are some Mandrake RPMs built by Emmanuel Favre-Nicolin.
hugin and libpano12 are in Debian etch (testing) and sid (unstable).
There are slackware packages as well.
There is a SUSE photo buildservice for openSUSE

frontend for Panorama Tools, similar to PTAssembler, PTGui or Open for Windows.
hugin can be used to stitch multiple images together. The resulting image can span 360 degrees. Another common use is the creation of very high resolution pictures by combining multiple images.
It uses the Panorama Tools as backend to create high quality images.

A suite of tools for manipulating panoramic images.
Helmut Dersch's Panorama Tools; provides very high quality manipulation, correction and stitching of panoramic photographs.

Image Blending with Multiresolution Splines
Enblend is a tool for compositing images. Given a set of images that overlap in some irregular way, Enblend overlays them in such a way that the seam between the images is invisible, or at least very difficult to see. Enblend does not line up the images for you. Use a tool like Hugin to do that.

SIFT Feature Detection implementation
The SIFT feature detection algorithm has been invented and published by David Lowe at the University of British Columbia. A detailed account of the complete algorithm is available at http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~lowe/papers/ijcv03-abs.html
The algorithm provides the capability to identify key feature points within arbitrary images. It further extracts highly distinct information for each such point and allows to characterize the point invariant to a number of modifications to the image. It is invariant to contrast/brightness changes, to rotation, scaling and partially invariant to other kinds of transformations. The algorithm can be flexibly used to create input data for image matching, object identification and other computer vision related algorithms.
This package provides an implementation of the SIFT algorithm and a set of utilities to utilize the algorithm to match two or more images. As output, a number of control points are created, which specify one and the same image location in two images. The output is created as project file for the hugin panorama stitching software, which is available at http://hugin.sf.net/

OpenGL viewer for spherical panoramas
This is a viewer for spherical panoramic images; typically these are jpeg files with proportions of 2:1. Takes advantage of hardware acceleration if available.
http://www.tu-harburg.de/~ti1fw/
This is a plugin intended to help with making panoramas
Currently it doesn't have much intelligence: it won't do any smart matching of edges for you, all it does is automate that first step. Give it a list of files, in order, and an average overlap, and it will give you an image big enough to hold all the pieces, with all the component pieces overlapped to the specified amount, and with gradient layer masks so they fade into each other.

Gimp Panorama Tools plug-in
Plug-in for the Gimp (the Gnu Image Manipulation Program); provides some of the functionality of the full Panorama Tools suite.
http://www.path.unimelb.edu.au/~dersch/
Gimp phfluuh Panorama plug-in
Plug-in for the Gimp (the Gnu Image Manipulation Program); phfluuh helps you make panorama images.
Two plug-ins are provided:

Gimp plugin for merging several images into one image
With the output formats "TIFF_m" and "TIFF_mask" in Helmut Dersch's Panorama Tools you get the stitched panorama as several TIFF files. TIFF_m provides the image information and TIFF_mask the stitching masks.
This gimp plugin merges these files into a single multi-layer gimp image.

Gimp Wideangle plug-in
Plug-in for the Gimp (the Gnu Image Manipulation Program); wideangle can be used to correct photographic lens barrel distortion.
One plug-in is provided:

wxWindows Panorama Viewer Component.
Provides the underlying framework for the first "release quality" panorama viewer made from wxWindows.
Note: This package is obsolete, an updated version of panoviewer is included in the current version of hugin.

Merging of overlapping images
xmerge uses an SQP solver to rotate, distort and align images. Ideal for joining scanned images.
