[Cialug] External Hard Drive

[Matthew Lechleider]

I have been shopping around for a portable USB drive for my laptop.

I have been looking at the physically smaller drives such as the Western 
Digital Passport.

 From what I have heard the drives come with special software which can 
be a pain to change the file system type.

Any Linux users out there have any experiences or recommendations?
