yes one per line.
you can also take a look at man ssh-keygen specifically the -i option.
-i This option will read an unencrypted private (or public) key file
in SSH2-compatible format and print an OpenSSH compatible private
(or public) key to stdout. ssh-keygen also reads the `SECSH
Public Key File Format'. This option allows importing keys from
several commercial SSH implementations.
I think you can take the public key file generated by putty copy it to
the linux box and run ssh-keygen -i -f puttykeyfile.pub >>
~/.ssh/authorized_keys
