I am familiar with these drives, I have seen them myself from a friend, and his 128 mb HD is as big as your pointer finger and about as thin, if not thinner. I read somewhere online that Linux, well I should say RedHat supported these drives. But it was not on an official RedHat page, and the site is probably gone now. I would recommend calling the sales person back and asking her for technical support, they might be able to tell you if linux supports their products.

They are little things the sales person called them thumb drives. They connect to a usb port and they are a storage device. They are supposed to be good for storing pictures and let's say a sound that you don't want to use a whole cd for. You supposedly can drop them in your pocket take them cross country hook them up to a different computer, and you have your pictures or documents. I believe that some of them actually fit on key chains. love, Diana On Tue, 2 Sep 2003, Joseph C. Lininger wrote: > I'm not sure what these drives are. Is that a brand, type of drive, or > what?
