I use it on my linux and my windoze systems (both are on the same USB KVM). I works very well with my Red Hat 9.0 system, with only one issue. I have been unable so far to find something to allow me to configure the button setup on linux as I can on my 2k box. I am no where near the point of writing something to do it, and have no clue if there is something in linux that would allow me to, and if so what file(s) to edit, etc.
Other then that, no complaints. Actually, I hate to say it, but it is probably the best trackball I have ever used.
