We (younger and older but all chronologically adults) had a great time examining objects under it for an evening. If you search Amazon.com for "USB Microscope" you will see the model you mentioned as well as several others, some of which specifically promise linux compatibility, but most do not. I just searched the Amazon questions and reviews on this specific model, and nobody has mentioned linux in general or Ubuntu specifically. You might ask a question on Amazon and hope someone who owns one replies. Or you might contact the manufacturer. Or you could buy one and be prepared to send it back if you cannot make it work. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> I've already contacted the manufacturer.
