I am looking to install a USB drive for Fedora on my laptop. In
circuit city, I found that most external USB [drives] support either
MAC or Windows. Is there any place I can find [a list of USB drives]
that [are supported by] Fedora?
It'd be easier to make a list of USB drives that *aren't* supported by
Linux. All USB keychain drives and disk enclosures are supposed to
support the USB Mass Storage standards. All drives that support those
standards will work with Linux.
The only problem is that the very newest devices may not be supported by
your distro's kernel. Kernel source built in Oct. 2005 can't support a
device that didn't exist until Mar. 2006, after all. If you plug in a
USB device and see messages like "unknown device 1234:5678 not claimed
by any active driver" in the output from dmesg, you need to update your
kernel. HTH,
