Froyo (avail for Evo and I think now for Galaxy) should have tethering built in though some carriers are disabling it (: I'm about to buy EVO too (for front facing camera - though new MyTouch out on 11/3 should have too) - was told both Sprint and TMobile look other way at minor tethering - though downloading distros might be pushing that. Otherwise they are all trying to soak users for another $15-30 / mo for tethering.
