Actually, I was hoping there was a way to just run an ethernet cord between the two computers as both already have ports for that.
You should be able to do it. The burden lies on the laptop to do the connection sharing. The linux box need only have the proper LAN settings (including your laptop as gateway). Of course, the laptop needs to have the LAN settings right too. :-)
Unfortunately, I don't know how to approach this in OS X. Hopefully someone else does...
I haven't done it myself, but as I recall, OS X inherited the ipfw utilities from FreeBSD. I'd start by looking for an ipfw man page, or google for something like "ipfw OS X".
Nothing so arcane is necessary. Check out the following:
System Preferences (Application) Sharing (Applet) Internet (Tab)
There are options there for sharing your internet connection with other machines on the network.
