Hi,
Does anyone know if the Iomega 500gb minimax external usb hard drive is compatible with Linux Ubuntu 10.10, and does anyone have an opinion of the drive.
Would I have to reformat it to get it to work with Linux.
Thanks in advance all help greatly appreciated.

I would expect any USB attached external disk drive to work on a modern and well developed Linux distribution. Ubuntu 10.10 would qualify as one of those distributions. Iomega makes very good products. I don't see any reason for concern.
