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 -- Michael Hannon mailto:[log in to unmask] Dept. of Physics 530.752.4966 University of California 530.752.4717 FAX Davis, CA 95616-8677
