Folks,
I have a nephew out in Oklahoma who is really getting into Linux, both he
and his wife. He asked me this question, and I have never used one of these
things so not sure how to answer it, thought i would toss it out here to see
what you all have to say

There are some that have been on the market long enough that I assume
that they have drivers for them under Linux, but can not say for sure since
I have never tried to use one of these things.

Any recommendations out there, are there some that work?
