Will this work with Linux OS distributions?

I doubt it. It doesn't work very well period. You'd do far better with a Lexmark.

Yup. Used it with Ubuntu and Kubuntu. Linux has low-latency drivers built-in, so you're good to go.

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.

I also can't answer at this moment. It doesn't work yet because I'm fighting against Win8 and it's hardware to install Linux.

I have not tried it, but I guess it will not. It does not work with my laptop with Linux OS. It works fine with Windows though.

Have had no driver issues in any version of linux I've used on this. That includes Ubuntu, Mint and Centos 7 so far. I suspect it will work with any recent version of linux.

It should, provided that the product key is valid. But why would you want to install a unsupported OS onto a new system?

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.

It should work, if it works with other USB devices, i don't see why it wouldn't. Sorry if I am incorrect. I personally don't use linux. I use Windows 8.

Yes it does work with all Linux versions. Intel has a driver for this card. If it's not included with your distro you can download it from Intels website. As far as freeBSD you would have to check with Intel and see if they offer a driver and also check the hardware compatability list for freeBSD. I have this card running in a dual boot with Windows 7 and mint 17 and both cases it worked out of the box.

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?

Yes, so far this works with any pc I've thrown it against. Xp, win 7 and 8 work fine. I have yet to try it with a Linux box or Mac.

I got it to work with XP and 7, so it should work with 8. I never tried it with Linux.

It is off the shelf hardware. It should work with Linux distributions AFAIK. You can build your own for slightly cheaper, but not too much cheaper. For the extra money, you do get warranty support on the hardware as well as having it tested and burnt in. That was worth my mine for having the piece of mind. Search for the free as mini reviews and you can get a breakdown of the hardware to check compatibility.
