Correction:  M-Audio is known to work fine with Linux, after 
you install the 'midisport firmware loader.'  This is 
included in most distros (esp. Debian/Ubuntu),[1] though you 
will have to install it yourself.  This is very easy to do.  
I have a Midisport 1x1 and an Oxygen 49 and they rock.

Meanwhile, all the AKAI stuff is class-compliant USB MIDI... 
so it works fine in Linux without doing anything special.
