Yes it works with linux, although the sound drivers you might have to pay for. (the USB drivers).
USB support is lacking as well, so make sure whatever devices you choose that are USB will work with th
Version and kernel of linux you choose.I have heard Mandrake 7.2 is very friendly with i opener, but I have not tried it.

I use linux on my main machine, and plan to use 98 on the i opener on order to use it with dialpad to call my mother (waiting for a bios chip and a cable from badflash).

I have heard 2000 is the best Windows as far as AMD-based i-opener, and that 98 with usb support works well with the basic "modded" i-opener (video drivers must be downloaded). 98 SE (which is what I will install) is reported to crash often due to memory leaks with the ####k 32 meg sodimm, but again, I haven't tested any of these.

To be sure, read the posts and use the SEARCH option at the top of the forum... then make your choice.
