I've seen a pretty large number of working solutions, this one doesn't seem 
terrible for the $:

Don't expect the world for $25 though ;-).  It does include a (short) usb dongle.

At least one reviewer claims:
Pros: Works perfectly in linux.

Another:
Works amazingly in Linux running XBMC.
I run a linux HTPC and this remote works great for it.
each button does what it is supposed to do under XBMC.
Also works with mythtv

Another claims:
Fortunately I found the free great XBMC remote for my Android phone and you 
should too.

Not sure if you have an android widget around, but that sounds interesting.

There are of course nicer solutions for more $.
