As long as you don't expect to run the logitech mouseware (winodws) software
on your linux, the logitech mouses all work as any regular mice. Ie, with the
scrollbutton acting as a 3rd mouse-button.
Be aware that the logitech trackmans with the thumb-ball takes a while to get
used to. But when it's done you'll also rock in any FPS-game using this mouse.
8-) You might also want to increase the acceleration when using this
mouse-type so you don't have to thumb-roll it more than necessary.
I swithced to this kind of mouse when my shoulder gave me problems with
regular mice.
HTH.
