    Does anyone have one of these?

    I was wondering if anyone knows much about this:
    Archos - 5 Internet Media Tablet with 250GB* Hard Drive - Silver - 501129

    Is it Linux friendly? Will it work well with a Linux computer? I'd like to buy something like this but I'd be loading media content to it with Linux. I know it does not support ogg or flac but I can live with that if it can at least sync with some open source program.

    According to the Amazon site, it implements the standardized Mass Storage Device protocol, which make it look like an ordinary external harddrive to the OS and is has been supported by Linux for 10yrs or so.
    Debian GNU/Linux -- You know you want it.
