The one I have implements a USB-net interface, so it's effectively an ethernet cable. Most modern distributions just work. The one you link is a USB-to-serial-to USB. That is not ideal for transferring files. If you are unclear on what the "link" cable supports, you can always just buy two usb-ethernet adapters and an ethernet cable to go in the middle. Maybe more adpatable than a "link cable".
