Mounted inside the USB enclosure is a HD. I'll use old HD for this purpose. Frequently I work on at least 2 PCs running different Linux OS. With such a device, USB enclosure, it'll ease my work on consolidating the working data on 2 PCs. Otherwise I have to use a pendrive for tranporting working data between 2 PCs. OR compressing them as tarball and send the latter as attachment to an email. Tks B.R. SL -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
