Of cause if you have usb issues and can't get usb 2 working it will be a bit of a dog but thats not the fault of the drive. I use a freecom drive with my NSLU2 and swap it into laptops as well, great little device, although it didn't work with my car radio, USB would drop out after 5 seconds, possibly a fault in the implementation at one end. But not seen issues with linux. -- Robin Cornelius http://www.byteme.org.uk -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
