I've used them with Debian (Sarge and newer), Red Hat (RHEL3 and newer), SUSE 
(9 and newer) and Mandrake (don't remember the version).  No problems at all.  
I don't recall the brand of the adapters I use, but they're the sort that 
provide both keyboard and mouse PS/2 adapters on a single USB plug.
