I've come across the FTDI chipset a number of times - including in packaged USB to serial converters. They work. The other chipset I've come across is the Prolific menitioned earlier. They also work. My experience of USB to serial on Linux has been really boring. You plug the thing in, and you get a serial port. Not like Windows users, with all that messing around with driver installation, the lucky gits...
