As far as I'm aware, only "metallic" temperature sensors are linear (for example PT100 sensors, and yes, the PT stands for platinum).


PT100 sensors aren't linear at all! Have a look at figure 7 of http://www.maxim-ic.com/appnotes.cfm/an_pk/3450

The KTY-series is widely used for automative applications. They aren't linear either, but are cheap and stable. Here are examples:
