using external hard drives with different linux distributions
Hello,
I have a couple of questions about the use of external hard drives with Linux.
First of all, is there any specific type of external hard drive I need to get in order for it to be compatible with Linux?
Second, What steps do I need to take to make it operational? (e.g. format the drive, mount the drive, etc.)
Thirdly, will it create a problem if I use the hard drive with different machines running different distributions of Linux? For instance, on my computer I have 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_52.rhfc1.atsmp (Red Hat Fedora COre)
but n my new lab they run SUSE (not sure what version off the top of my head).
Thank you very much to anyone that can help me with the questions!
Please let me know if any further information is required.
Paul
