Shikatronics has a multi-card reader that handles almost all card types, and
which they claim, on the package, works with Linux. So far it's the only one
I've seen that actually states that it's Linux compatible. Other brands may
be, but don't say so on the package or on their web sites. As for any
computer hardware, you should also check the hardware compatibility lists,
though they're not always up to date. Also check the digital photo HOWTO to
see what cameras are supported directly (and in what mode(s) - PTP, mass
storage, etc.) by Linux - the list is growing rapidly.
Most USB card readers are supported. I just bought one off the shelf,
and it appears as a mass-storage device. Furthermore, I got a prebuilt
computer (argh!) with an integrated card reader, and that works. The
driver necessary is the USB Mass Storage Support :)
