iPods are. I also have a Sandisk player that works well with Ubuntu and Mepis.

I would say if you can mount them as a storage device without any specific drivers like a USB disk then Yes... Otherwise I would not buy it..

There is a compatibility list here - maybe not quite up-to-date but gives a good idea of the crazy variety:

Otherwise I wouldn't assume that anything would work unless you can google a report on the exact model you want to buy.
