LINUX

[ginacrittington]

how does Linux handle devices such as UBS drives, CD-ROM drives, etc.:

[Geek-9pm]

Kind, but very strict.

that depends on what you mean...You can mount stuff automatically on ubuntu and many other mainstream distros but servers and other text based versions usually require you to manually mound the drives

use fdisk-l then mount them to a folder

Code: [Select]

fdisk -l
cd /media
mkdir flashdrive
mount /dev/sda1 /media/flashdrive

assuming the drive you want to mount is assigned to sda1
