[newbie] mouse problem

[Walter Hanagriff]

i read that mandrake can use almost any mouse, but i have a microsoft 
intellimouse,can linux also use that mouse?
i dont know if they could make it only used on windows, since they also have the 
winmodem, which unfortunately i also have, and i hear cant be used on anything 
but windows.
