Really, they all should work fine with Linux.  These USB flash drives
are one of the few devices, even the off-brand ones, that specify Linux
compatibility on the package.  I haven't ever seen one that doesn't
work, or doesn't specify Linux compatibility, which is pretty cool.  You
just need a 2.4.x kernel, which shouldn't be a problem.
