a support question

[Joseph C. Lininger]

the Lexar Jumpshot drives are supported by Linux. However, you should be
aware that the support is currently experimental and such can be dangerous.
It probably won't crash your machine, however I would advise that if you use
the drive under Linux, don't keep critical data on it. Then again, that
argument can be made for any storage device. You should always have at least
two copies of critical data. <grin> Anyway, if you would like help setting
up Linux to work with the Lexar jumpshot drives, just drop a line. Would be
happy to help.
