It depends what you mean by “LINQ”.
LINQ to SQL will only work against SQL Server and SQL CE (or whatever it’s called these days).
I believe that the Entity Framework (LINQ to Entities) will work with any database supported by ADO.NET… but I think that vendors can give more specific support which would no doubt mean better performance and quite possibly a wider range of translatable queries.
Then there are efforts like LINQ to NHibernate which again will work with any ADO.NET-compatible database.
