I have Linux Mint 15 and I use this to connect to my Motorola DRIOD RAZR MAXX for internet access, and for copying files. Depending upon the age of your distribution, you may need to remove your existing bt package and install the bluez package. Search your distribution's forum to find out what's needed.

I would be very surprised if it did not work with them, because its compatibility is entirely managed via the USB connection. Any OS that handles USB well should detect it just fine. It even works great with my Ubuntu Linux machines.

Don't know about Linux. I've only used it with Windows 7 & 8.1 & it works fine with both of those.

I have not used it with Linux. I have used it with Win7 and Win Server 2008. It uses "Realtek" technology, if that helps. It should work with Linux.

I used it on Mint, and got it working, but it didn't perform as well as it did on windows. It broke and they wouldn't honor the warranty so I can't test on my current distro. I would say go with something else for Linux.

I think it does, worst case scenario it doesn't work and you send it back to the seller. I wouldn't though as it worked on 3 different hard drives I used it on and I was able to get all my data. None were Linux but they were all different and it worked on all of them.

Yes. Use the app solaar to manage the device under linux. Google it for the PPA.

Definitely. I have used it with XP, Vista, 7, 8, and several flavors of Linux OSs.

I am using it on XP, but not sure about Linux. I should as it is a physical switch and not software driven.

No you have to install its software and the software can be installed in linux, I have installed in Ubuntu, it works very well.

Yes, this device will work with any Linux system that has USB HID drivers installed. These drivers are normally installed by default. The device worked perfectly with my Arch Linux/KDE system.

I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine it not working with linux or any OS for that matter.

I am using it with Ubuntu. It works fine. Just remember that it is a TTL logic USB to serial converter. Check that is what you are looking for before buying this.

Linux is an OS right? This is strictly hardware, should work with anything.

Works for Win8 & 8.1, Win7, and it works in Linux. All plug and play, so you shouldn't have to mess with the drivers.

Tested and working under many flavors of Linux. It uses the very common rtl8187 driver, so it'll work under just about anything.

It works fine with Ubuntu and I see no reason why it wouldn't work OK with CentOS etc. Is there a particular flavour you want to run on it?
