Yes, I've been using PLoP via floppy for a few months here since this P4 doesn't boot via USB. Works well!

Hard to imagine Linux ever lacking drivers or developers for anything! Heck, they were (I think) the first to support USB 3.0 (which I don't even know if it's out yet). I still think there are too many (overlapping, esp. Ubuntu-based) Linux distributions.
