Will this work with Linux OS?

As mentioned by By Roger Golden, eHow Contributor Will an External DVD Work With a Linux PC? Small external disks have become commonplace. The Linux operating system is an open source project, written and maintained by the Linux community at large. Because of this, it's compatible with a range of hardware configuration for internal and external components. Linux offers seamless support for many USB devices, a common interface for peripherals and storage devices of all types.

i am not a computer geek so my answer may be of limited usefulness. my ubuntu-linux laptop was builtby my brother who himself maintains several such machines when he travels away from home. i only buyproducts he says will work together and i , too, looked at bottom of ad to see if linux listed.my guess is will work fine. however, my brother is traveling and i cannot ask before tomorrow. he and live several thousandmiles apart so communication not speedy. they do not cost a bunch and i really like mine.

I don't know for sure whether it would work for Linux. Since it works for Mac and Mac OS Is basically Linux I would guess that it probably does.

Yes, it works with all Operating Systems. Just be sure the device you have in it is not corrupt or in any odd format.

It's a HD. It will work with whatever OS you format it for. G-Parted is your friend. But Linux can read NTFS and FAT32 partitions fine.

Yes it works with Linux if you can find the driver and it allows you to store you 2 hands but you can swap some of yours for someone elses

yes - most will work with linux, if they are formatted properly. worse case is that you can format the drive to work with linux on the eee but that will keep you from reading the contents on a mac or pc. format it such that it is readable on a mac or pc (usually the way it comes from the manufacturer out of the box) and it will work just fine.

Not sure for Linux...but I´m using it with Mac OSX so I would imagine this could work!!

I believe it will the driver for it is pretty basic. Mint is the best Windows like flavor of Linux (IMO) and it's "plug and play" has always worked with anything I have installed.

I use mine on a Linux machine, no problem so far; though I have not thoroughly put it through the paces.

I used it to install Linux on an old XP computer, so I don't know why it wouldn't. You plug in its two USB male ports (to get enough power, as it doesn't use AC nor battery power) and it seems to be a fully functional DVD drive.

I haven't tried Linux, but as you say, they're just USB speakers after all, so I'd expect they would. I didn't have to install any specific drivers to get them to work on my Windows 8 machine.

It works perfectly with Fedora 16. I assume you won't have any problem since is the Kernel the one that handles the hardware and is basically the same on all flavors of Linux.

These devices are sold with software for MS Windows and MAC OS. If your Linux currently supports the USB ports on your platform, there should be no problem but I'd go to the Logitech web site and lookup their support guys. They would be able to specify under which conditions they may work or not work on various versons of Linux. May already be posted on the FAQs page. Logitech is pretty good for support in my experience. Hope this helps.

Definitely. I have used it with XP, Vista, 7, 8, and several flavors of Linux OSs.

The hardware should be compatible. The biggest variable will be the OS. If you are using Microsoft Windows, it'll work. Linux would depend on the distro / configuration (you should be able to get it to work with any of them, but the process is likely to be harder, and getting the burning to work may be non-trivial).

I've successfully used it with Fedora, so it should work with Ubuntu, I would think.
