It's not available in the latest kernel just yet, but if you just so happen to have gotten your hands on a USB 3.0 device you want to use at full spectrum (you lucky jerk) or want to do this for the sake of geekiness, it's now possible to get USB 3.0 support for Debian and Ubuntu systems. The USB 3.0 subsystem will be integrated into the Linux kernel "soon," but if you've got some time on your hands, instructions have been provided to do it yourself.

It is 2009 and I expect a yes next to each one of them. With that being said, it doesn't help when many don't conform to the standard. I've also said this in the past that there needs to be more standardisation. A USB printer standard that has a single driver and the processing is left up to the printer, a single driver for syncing with music devices which does away with funky proprietary protocols. I guess I can only dream given its not going to happen.
I have never understood this part why can't companies follow a set standard or a set of protocols. Just because of lack of standardization we (the end user) has to suffer. These hardware companies following proprietary protocols is a step backwards, imho.
