Not sure how relevant it is but I have been using a USB card reader in
and XP laptop on a network all this morning (a client photo session) -
plugging it in and out. It has registered every time as the correct
next letter G on the laptop - in My Computer.
That said I still get marginally faster access using SUSE 9.3 as it
doesn't keep throwing up a dialogue asking me what I want to do with the
files.
(I am very new to Linux at the moment but getting better and liking it
more and more)
