usb to serial adapter or cable

[Guy Schlosser]

I have a question along these same lines.  I just got a new dell for 
Christmas, but it doesn't have serial ports on it.  I went and bought 
a PCI card (manhattan) with two serial ports on it.  Will I be OK 
with this and Linux?  Anyone have any experience setting this 
up?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'll probably still roll 
with fedora core 6, since I've become used to working with it, 
although I've kicked around the idea of giving Ubuntu a spin. Thanks 
in advance for the help.
