The EInk devices that support DRMed MOBI and (increasingly) DRMed Adobe ePub all run Linux, but MobiPocket and Adobe have not released Linux Desktop versions.
In 2007, Adobe said in its FAQ:
Quote:
Will a Linux® version of Digital Editions be available?
Yes, a desktop Linux is under development and a public beta is expected later this year.

It is now 2009, and the FAQ no longer mentions Linux.
I think DRM peddlers are making a mistake by not supporting all available platforms. This requires resources, but stripping DRM becomes much more widespread when DRM-supporting Readers are unavailable.
It is now possible to strip DRM from all popular ebook formats. Adobe's DRM scheme is called ADEPT so see:
Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB circumvented and
Adobe ADEPT DRM for PDF circumvented.
