There shouldn't be any problem. I've used several adapters using the
Prolific chip and the pl2303 driver and never had any trouble. It will
even work from a live CD or installation media. One thing you should
know, though, is that the device will be called /dev/ttyUSB# as opposed
to the usual /dev/ttyS#.
