VMware vSphere Linux CLI Client
There is indeed a command line client for Linux. Download the client after accepting the EULA here.

hmm..
I don't get it. Isn't Linux based on CLIs? Terminal, Konsole, etc?
I commonly ssh to remote machines using these tools. What does this client offer above and beyond?
Scriptablility, including PERL modules. I am still getting familiar with the tools. You may be able to do everything by ssh'ing directly to your ESX servers. I think this tool may give you access to command line stuff for you VI server via SSL, which is Windows-only at the momment.
