The USB version of DirecPC is only compatible with Windows. The PCI
version vorks with Linux, however you need the Linux driver from
www.helius.com, it is a non-open source driver, and it starts at $99.
I installed many DirecPC units, and everybody is switching to DSL and
Cable. DirecPC is unstable, and the tech support (at least here in Canada)
is mediocre.
