Using Removable Devices and Media
Linux desktops now support removable devices and media such as digital cameras, PDAs, card readers, and even USB printers. These devices are handled automatically with an appropriate device interface set up on the fly when needed. Such hotplugged devices are identified, and where appropriate, their icons will appear in the file manager window. For example, when you connect a USB drive to your system, it will be detected and displayed as storage device with its own file system.
When you insert a blank DVD or CD, a window will open labeled CD/DVD Creator. Burning data to a DVD or CD is a simple matter of dragging files to that window and clicking the Write To Disc button.
