user16175: I programming atmega328P bootloaded with an FTDI.
Some tutorial mentions that you have to connect the DTR to the reset pin:

Is that so? Because some don't, they just say rx,tx is enough. I still can't program the chip with the error:
 avrdude -p m328p -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -c avrisp -b 9600 -n -v -v -v

I tried different baud rates, no matter what it's not responding. Linux recognizes the FTDI as:

Well my questions now are:
1, When I use the Arduino IDE to program a barebone 328P with this FTDI what should be the BOARD and what should be the PROGRAMMER?
Right now I have it on Arduino Nano/Atmega328 + AVRISP mkII
Although I tried almost all... I think something else is wrong.
2, Should I be able to get any result with doing the previous:
 avrdude -p m328p -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -c avrisp -b 9600 -n -v -v -v

command WITHOUT connecting the barebone chip? I think not, since this doesn't act like a fully fledged MCU just like a serial converter.
Thanks

Tha AVRISP is not an FTDI programmer. How do you have it wired up?
See: How to make an Arduino-compatible minimal board
From that page, this is how I hooked up my FTDI cable:

And a close-up:

You need RTS, via a 0.1 µF capacitor (in series) in order to trigger a reset.
