Set the variable `c-default-style' in your .emacs file.  This is fully
documented in the CC Mode manual, page "Choosing a Style".  Something
like the following in your .emacs should work:

(eval-after-load "cc-mode"  '(setq c-default-style "linux"))

[The eval-after-load bit is to make sure that you don't try and set the
variable's value before the code has been loaded.]
