From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Chances are it is fine. I don't believe the flasher goes terribly fast. Also isn't there some sort of checksumming? I've never owned one of these devices but they are pretty popular so chances are if there was a serious danger a quick search would show it
+1 it'll be fine
You only need to worry about wire length and ringing when you're talking radio or modern CPU or graphics cards speeds. Anything pi related will be fine
