Thank you tjhanson  for posting this article!

My wife and I want an MP3/4 player, but didn't want to have to use Windows or Mac, since I run Fedora Core linux.  Linux has the ability to mount almost any file system, and I can fix any problem that I encounter.  We don't want some proprietary interface preventing us from enjoying our music on the road.  We have a large library of music and don't want the added hassle of using another OS just to use a music player, or juggling machines using a KDB.

I called the Sandisk/Sansa folks at 866-744-1444 and they recommended the purchase of the Fuse or the View, as they have the same MSC (Mass Storage Class) mode available to mount this device as a flash drive.

And to think, we were going to purchase an iPod and deal with it.

I'm going to purchase a Fuse and find out how well it works.  Wish me luck!
