When buying online you have a period of time (I can never remember how
long it is) to return products for any reason. If I can't get good info
on whether or not hardware will work I tend to go for the approach of
buying something and if it doesn't work sending it back (putting down
its lack of compatibility with linux as the reason - if enough people
do this we might start getting better info).
