Mandrake 9.2 detects it as a generic USB Wheel Mouse.
Red Hat 9.0 has a tendency to have trouble resolving the type. It may get auto-detected as a PS/2 3 Button mouse, which is incorrect. This doesn't seem to effect the functioning of the mouse though. It will still work normally (including the wheel), although you can always select "USB Wheel Mouse" manually during installation or post installation if you wish.
Neither of the these two distros requires any special driver for the mouse.
NOTE: This mouse comes packaged with a small PS/2 adapter which attaches to the end of it's USB cord so you can plug it into a PS/2 port too. I haven't used it yet, so I can't attest to its reliability.
