How do I mount a drive under unix. I was hoping I could just click on the drive and use drag & drop like I would under windows. I am also hoping that it will recognize a USB drive without any special machinations.
I'm open to experience and advice.
Ubuntu should be fine. Don't put the USB in the slot until after you're all booted up and you should be able to just click on it and go. I haven't used a recent ubuntu, so I can't tell you exactly what the file manager will be like. It should be fairly straightforward to figure out though, even if it doesn't look much like what you are used to. Good luck with it!
