I want to expand my laptop a bit, but am unsure of Linux compatibility. I
want to add a usb hub and a multi-card reader. I assume the hub is not a
software issue so should run ok under Linux?

The multi-card reader I really know nothing about. I see lots of them
around for $25 or so in Superstore, but am not sure what the difference is.

Are these driver specific devices? Anyone have any luck with these devices
under Linux?

I am running Debian on my laptop (kernel 2.4) and will be running Mandrake
10.1 on one of my pc's and possibly Ubantu linux on another.

Comments? Suggestions?

Thanks!
