After plugging it in, use 'dmesg' to see the device name that was just
added and mount it wherever you want. Maybe you should think about
switching to Centos 5 (or 6 soon...) which should automount on the desktop.
Fat32 is the only thing that will 'just work' across the different OS's
and it is OK unless you are handling files >4GB. But don't you have a
network for that sort of thing?
