Anyone care to read this!

Oh ok...thanks for the info. For some reason, I was under the impression
that linux did not support usb as well as Windows...i'm going to go hide
behind something very durable and very military proof before a few of you
come after me with heavy artilarry.

Take care,
Sina

'And so was I. 

I was able to add a USB drive, and mount it without restarting the server. 
As to the USB keyboard, I unplugged it from one usb port and back into
another one on-the-fly without encountering any problems. 

In fact, Linux recognized that the harddrive was using USB2 when it was
plugged in.

The key, as far as I understand it, is to have USB and everything associated
compiled either into to the kernel or as modules. This will eliminate
unforeseen errors.

Good Luck!
