Hi Guys, it's been a while, but I use to live in DM and visited many of your meetings. My job ended and I moved to NM. I've never un-subbed from the list, since it's so useful.<br><br>Anyhow, I have a friend who will be traveling around the world, and using mostly internet cafe, etc. for most of her communication and photography. That probably means multiple OS's (Windoze, Nix, Live-CD's, Mac), in use. <br><br>I figured using an SD card inserted to a Mobile USB SD/Reader/Writer would work. I have been using U3 programs, some being cross-platform, (Firefox, Gimp, NVu, J-album, FileZilla etc). <br><br>My question is, how do some of the different NIX's handle USB drives? For example, one night at a DM-LUG meeting we put Mandrake on my laptop. It's never been able to see the USB drives (or my wifi nic), so I still spend a lot of time in 'Doze land. Ubuntu seems to have similar issues too, but that's
another story.<br><br>Does anyone have some first-hand knowledge on the above app's working on different distro's? Or, any thoughts on what to use to clean up, photo's, put them in to web pages, write about them and upload to wherever, keeping in mind doing it from a thumb drive via internet cafe's?<br><br>She is not very computer savvy, so the KISS principle should be employed here. <br>Thanks<br>Lance<br><br><br><p>
