There's xoscope:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xoscope/

Not the prettiest but builds and runs on recent distributions (not
packaged in Fedora afaik).

And FFTExplorer:

http://www.arachnoid.com/FFTExplorer/

Which is going to be less familiar if you're looking for something that
acts like a traditional analog scope but has some neat features for
looking at the spectral components of a signal. Java app but seems to
run fine on OpenJDK.

There's a few other projects out there that I've never played with:

Osquoop:
http://gitorious.org/osqoop

glScope:
http://luke.no-ip.org/code/

QOscC:
http://flup.homelinux.org/qoscc.html

If you are used to Velleman scopes (and maybe have one at home.. :)
there's also QtDSO an interface for the PCS64i series of digital scopes.
No idea if it's in any way useful without the hardware:
