Is there a usb standard for midi keyboards which linux knows about? The

I'm thinking of getting a midi controller
keyboard. I.e. no onboard
synth just a keyboard which sends midi messages to the computer. Should
be pressure sensitive but not worried about aftertouch. Ideally it
should work with a usb cable under Linux (but have a midi out as well in
case I ever need it). Assignable controller knobs would be nice but not
necessary.
Any usb capable midi keyboard should work, look at M-Audios line of
Oxygen controllers.
I use my daughters Yamaha keyboard as a controller, it has midi, works
for my needs heh
