I'm also an M-Audio Axiom user -- I use the 61-key model (a generation
behind the current version), which is perfectly sufficient for my needs.
It's light-weight but sturdy, terrific for gigging or for playing in one's
lap. The key/control assignments are simple, straightforward, and
limitlessly customizable. I don't think I had to do anything special to make
it work under ubuntu. It does not have active sensing.
The only thing I don't like about it is that it has no battery bay, which
means I am dangerously tethered to my laptop via usb when I run around on
stage playing the thing like a keytar (or in practice, I'm confined to a
small space when I would greatly prefer to run around and play the thing
like a keytar -- behind-the-head is still usually possible).

Hello!
I use M-Audio Oxygen series, Oxygen 8 and 65. Works really great, no
compatibility problems. M-Audio is known to usually comply with standard
MIDI and standard USB.
