Well, if we're going to brag.. :-) Add to my list a 250Mb zip drive, which I've been using since 2.3.40-something. Support in the current kernels is rock-solid, and in my opinion, it runs slightly faster than in Windows. Also have a Philips webcam. It uses a driver that was originally binary-only (the author signed an NDA with Philips to get at the compression routines), but the core has been split out, and is in the main kernel tree. There's still a seperate compression module to get higher framerates and image sizes. Finally, I plugged an SMC USB ethernet adaptor in the other day, and was incredibly surprised when it Just Worked. <obhotplugrocks> hotplug rocks! It automatically detects the addition or removal of all of my USB devices, and loads the right modules without me having to think about it. Installing hotplug should be the first thing you do if you want to play with USB. </obhotplugrocks> -- Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
