Hi, folks. One of the guys here wants to buy an external, USB hard
drive to attach to his linux laptop (a Dell). I think he's currently
running SL 3.0.3, but we could install newer versions.
I recommended a Seagate drive that looked reasonable to me (and I tend
to be partial to Seagate). The guy points out that there's no mention
of linux in the specs for the drive. I've offered to buy the drive from
him if it doesn't work, but he's still reluctant.
If you've successfully used an external USB hard drive with ANY
configuration of hardware and linux software, would you please send me
the details? It's probably best to do this off-list.
Thanks.
- Mike
