Oh ok...thanks for the info. For some reason, I was under the impression that linux did not support usb as well as Windows...i'm going to go hide behind something very durable and very military proof before a few of you come after me with heavy artilarry.

Subject: RE: Anyone care to read this! 'And so was I. I was able to add a USB drive, and mount it without restarting the server. As to the USB keyboard, I unplugged it from one usb port and back into another one on-the-fly without encountering any problems. In fact, Linux recognized that the harddrive was using USB2 when it was plugged in. The key, as far as I understand it, is to have USB and everything associated compiled either into to the kernel or as modules. This will eliminate unforeseen errors. Good Luck!
