If the mouse has a PS/2 interface, it probably will work. USB mice are slightly iffy. Might and might not work. Look for info for the specific model on google.
Yes RF ( Wireless Mouse ) works fine with any linux / freebsd distro.. It even worked with solaris .. I have one from Microsoft .. plugs into the USB port .. and works great with linux!

OT: Man, does Microsoft hardware rock. I've got an MS Optical Wheelmouse. Probably the best mouse I've ever used (I used to have an A4Tech mouse back in Pakistan that used to be awesome too). It's got PS2 as well as a USB interface. Both work perfectly on my RH8 box.
