I just installed a Plextor 12/10/32 over the weekend. I bought this drive base on input from several people knowledgeable in unix, linux, and windoze. I can tell you that it is a very good, solid drive. I have it set up under W98, but the drivers are established for linux, and I'll tackle the setup in Mandrake in the next few days. Being a recovering windowsaholic, this may or may not go well. I still know very little about linux, and the learning curve is steep for me, but I'm convinced it is a far superior OS, and I will do what it takes to rid myself and my family of the dreaded windows virus. Anyway, my point being that if the setup of the plextor goes well, I will post results... if not, I will post many questions. And not to make light of the current situation here, but while we are all praying, thank God for this list. Peace, Stan
