How do I automount usb drives Asus 901 w. Linux?
I can't get anything in the usb ports to show up on any of the desktops of my new Asus Eee Pc 901 Linux 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB Solid State Drive. The only OS I have ever used is Mac when whatever you plug in immediately appears on the desktop and you can easily drag and drop after double-clicking its icon. Can my Asus 901 with Linux do anything like that? Or what is the next best way to achieve a quick and practical workflow with usb drives with Linux?

I do not know which Linux distribution ships with the Asus Eee 901, nor do I know which desktop environment it is loading (KDE, GNOME, IceWM, ...).
The easiest way would be to open up a terminal, and type in the following (note, the "$" at the beginning of each line dictates the prompt): Code:
$ grep $USER /etc/group What that "grep" command will do, is locate the pattern of your user name in the file /etc/group. If you do not see the group "plugdev" listed, then do the following: Code:
$ sudo adduser $USER plugdev |
