It also puts the binary in a strange place, but I guess I can live with that...

Which strange place? By default, it should go to ~/.cabal/bin, I think. Anyway, you should add that to your path, put something like if [ -z `/bin/echo ${PATH} | /usr/bin/grep cabal` ] then export PATH="/home/andrew/.cabal/bin:$PATH" fi in your .bashrc

Now, hypothetically, I should have a Linux Haskell system, so I can actually compile *anything* that's on Hackage.

Not really, you'll need to install external libraries (C stuff, mostly) for many packages. But it should be a lot easier than on Windows.
