If you have a sound card or mainboard with a gameport, a gameport/MIDI
adapter cable will be cheaper.

For the Uno, you may need to install the firmware load package from
<http://usb-midi-fw.sf.net/>.

Linux supports any USB MIDI interface that is standard compliant.  You
can detect such devices by the fact that they don't need a separate
driver for OS X or Windows XP.

Have a look at
