[09:33] good evening :-)
[18:49] mornin
[18:49] morning
[19:12] morning
[19:40] morning
[19:50] question..whats linux standard file system?..ext 2 or fat32?
[19:51] ext3 ?
[19:54] or ext3
[19:54] or ext4 now for a lot of distros
[19:55] so if a external hdd is formatted in fat32..it should work on linux? specially ubuntu?
[19:55] yes
[19:56] well..then i guess im taking this back..cause its not working
[19:57] is it a big drive?
[19:57] because I've come across some formatted NTFS
[19:57] naa..320gigs.
[19:58] its a usb mobile hdd
[19:58] yup
[19:58] works on the windows machine, but not in here
[19:58] right..off to jb hifi now that its open
[19:59] that'll be fun .. because it obviously works (on windows)
[19:59] you are sure it's fat32 rather than ntfs?
[20:01] any recent external drive I've seen is ntfs
[20:01] which Just Worked when plugging into my laptop running ubuntu
[20:01] the guy at the store says its fat32
[20:02] documentation for this thing says fat32 or ntfs
[20:02] it works on windows only
[20:02] neway..bbiab
[20:02] * ibeardslee nods at the knowledgable staff at places like jb hifi and dse
[20:02] they had to find one who actually did anything on linux
[20:02] cant be that good..cause he thought linux was formatted with fat32
[20:02] its a standard he said
[20:02] it's useful having a 1.5TB external drive that I can plug in to my laptop :)
[20:03] in other words they looked around the store for someone who'd seen a linux cd a few years ago but who'd never run it :P
[20:03] ajmitch, i have a 1TB one..but i wanted a smaller one to swap with friends at work so i didnt have to lug the terabyte one around
[20:03] finding a spare power point at work is a mission
[20:04] one of the guys had a 320gb usb external hdd
[20:04] quite handy
[20:04] yeah, the ones powered from the usb port are better for mobility
[20:04] yep.
[20:04] neway..out for a bit

[21:52] oh and a side note
