Which Flash Drives Work with USB on a 6.5 Kernel?

The subject is the question. I presently have the mass
storage driver working perfectly with a 2.6.5 kernel and an
external USB hard drive. Other than the slow speed of the
connection to the mother board, it doesn't miss a beat.
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 3
scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: Maxtor Model: 5000LE v01.00.00 Rev: 0100
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
SCSI device sda: 160084992 512-byte hdwr sectors (81964 MB)
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
sda: sda1
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Attached scsi generic sg2 at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0
USB Mass Storage device found at 3
So, if I wanted to get one of the 2-gig flash drives one
can buy at Staples or similar places, are there any to avoid?
Some are advertised as coming with software to let one encrypt
the data. I assume this is probably Windows-related software and
that it should fdisk, partition and mount normally under Linux
and that encryption is handled just like it is if you've got
anything from a floppy to a terabyte drive.
One is said to work under Windows and Macos9.1 or higher
but most don't say anything other than it works with Windows,
etc.
Many thanks.
