Yes and no. I've got one of these:

At £13.20, it'd hard to beat on price.  It comes with Linux drivers too. 
However, I've yet to get it running with my SuSE install. This, I am sure, is 
entirely to do with my newbieness and not the fault of the hardware.

A few folks here may remember that this is how I got in touch with the LUG in 
the first place...If I can't work it out soon, I may have to offer free food 
and drinks to anyone willing to come over and show me how it's done.
