USB2 is supported on the development kernel. I've had no trouble with USB
devices on Linux, but I only have a mouse / digital camera / Archos Jukebox.
Nothing like a printer / scanner. Higher hard drive speed helps a lot too.
Having a 4200 RPM hd isn't as nice as it sounds ;-) Wish I spent the extra
money for the 5400.
Since I didn't read the message you replied to and have no idea how far deep
this thread has gone, I haven't a clue what this system was being built to do
even.
