It's possible but with out knowing what make and model your refering to we wont have any way to tell you. My best suggestion would be to determine which make and model you want to get, or have, and do a search on http://www.google.com for 'linux yourmodel#here' and see what it says. You may also want to go to the particular distributions website that your planning to use and check they're current hardware compatability listing and see if your device is listed. Good luck with it and if you need more help let us know what model your looking at/using. Later!
