Actually, lets be a little more precise... no commercial DRM currently supports Linux on the desktop (as far as I know). Certainly since DRM works on Apple (which is a version of Unix these days), and a number of dedicated readers that use Linux as the basis of their OS, there is no reason why any of the DRM schemes could not be ported. The only issue is that currently, none of them do.
