[linux-help] Re: Drivers?

[Anne McCadden <ironrose@xxxxxxx>]

I haven't tried USB hard drives or CD-RW because they are much cheaper 
to have the internal.  Are you wanting them for your laptop?  I thought 
about getting a USB hard drive to store mp3's on, but burning them the 
CD is cheaper.  The finances motivate my choices and that is how I was 
motivated to learn linux, cheap servers.  Maybe someone else in the 
group may know and I would be interested in find out how it works also.
