Aloha, Maria. I have no idea. Sorry. I wanted extra USP ports and liked the features. I am thrilled with this product.

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

The hardware should be compatible. The biggest variable will be the OS. If you are using Microsoft Windows, it'll work. Linux would depend on the distro / configuration (you should be able to get it to work with any of them, but the process is likely to be harder, and getting the burning to work may be non-trivial).

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

Heavens yes. Also, go to Distrowatch and look at the all the Linux programs out there. It will run those too. Understand this: the people who make the boards, and Intel is excellent here, make them to run in a standard format so any operating system out there can handle them. Further, 10 something is out there and coming down the pike.. that board, and almost all the boards sold on Amazon will handle 10 when it gets here. SOME.. some of the boards are made for older input devices, and older operating systems. NOT the new ones which are universal. It is, by the way, and excellent, excellent board.

It doesnot support linux. I have tried it on Ubuntu and Fedora. Use only for windows.

Running freenas (freeBSD) on it without problems. Don't see why Linux would be any problem.

Yes. Good operating system, do your homework if you are not familiar with it. Can easily be made to look and work like older Windows OS if you are not happy with it.

Well, it runs Windows 7 soo well that Ubuntu (Linux) should run very well. I have never used Linux, but Windows 7 is a much bigger OS and runs very well. Linux should be extremely fast because it is so small.

Yes - right out of the box for windows. With Linux you'll need to re-partition the drive. The process in detailed in my review. Hope this is helpful.

You can boot most any linux install from them, yes. I'm here for another for just that purpose. Even a little 512MB will run some distros, but this is adequate for a full-on portable linux operating system with all the bells and whistles. Check out Pendrivelinux dot com.

Not official answer here... but it should be. I'm planning on throwing Linux on it.

I do not use Linux but it does work perfectly with Windows XP and Windows 7. There were no problems installing it and still use it on one of my computers.

Yes. One of the cool things about Asus is everything they make has linux drivers.

The stripped down Linux it ships with will let it boot but is not otherwise useful. I installed Fedora 20 desktop with the help of a USB connected DVD drive. I use it daily and am very pleased with it. I think that it is an outstanding value. I do use a wireless trackball to make up for the integrated mousepad which is not outstanding.

I'm sorry to ask a question on your question but did you every purchase the device and try it on Linux? I was also curious.

I'm sure you could find some more information on the forums. I personally have not tried running it on Linux. I would imagine you just need to find the correct drivers to run it properly. Good luck.
