I haven't tested this product extensively under Fedora Core 5 (Test 3), but it was recognized by the OS without any additional configuration. I did need to install the mt RPM package since that isn't installed by default.

I did run into some strange behavior when trying to set block sizes, but as long as I didn't try to change the block size, it backed up and restored without a problem.
