On the other hand, I heard from difficulties to use this stick under LINUX - somebody can confirm this?I've used several Kingston sticks of various sizes with no problems at all, though not as large as 32GB. What problems have you heard of? poc
I heard that such sticks are only usable if the partitions are formatted in fat32; formatting the partitions in ext3 or ext4 makes such partitions and the total stick unusable, that means, the partitions can't be mounted.
