Is it compatible with Linux?

I have no experience with Linux but I have not been able to use it with a Mac. There is software available generally to let Mac read USB type cameras but I did not explore that. The software which comes with the microscope is far superior to some of the adaptive software I downloaded. (My disk drive was out of commission when I got the camera and used downloaded freeware which was "ok." When I got my disk drive fixed and loaded the Celestron disk, it was amazing how much better the Celestron software was. I loved the microscope before I got the software loaded and it is 100% better for on screen live viewing with the Celelstron proprietary softward.

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

Absolutely. I bought this item because it works great with both Windows and Linux. Well worth it. I need to buy another one because I gave this one away to one of my students.

It should work, I have installed many Linux distros on this as well as many flavors of windows.

It depends which features you need. It does not have a Linux driver, and does not support all the same features in Mac OS and Windows.

Installed and works well on the windows based platform. Never installed it on linux, however it was basically plug play , so it should.

Did you ever find out if this was compatible with Linux? I see the v1 is listed, but can't find anything on the v2.

Yes, and it works very well. One caveat, it requires making changes and configurations. There is a link which provides, Google Phil's Project Blog. His information is the best that I came across. Read the blog and decide if you are up to this. My recommendation is that it is worthwhile and will give you a better understanding on Linux configuration.

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

I am not using it with a Linux but what are you planning on doing in Linux with it?

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.

I don't know if drivers for Linux are available. You might check with Creative or on Linux forums.

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.

Hi, It can work with Linux and bfgminer. You only need the latest bfgminer :)

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.
