I have a Panasonic 5 disc 12x cd changer, and was thinking of tossing it in
my linux server. How does linux handle this device, like 1 drive where I
manually have to swap CD's by pushing external buttons? Or can it swap CD's
based on user accesses?

Thanks,
-Pete

Try

www.pricewatch.com

I saw a few cheap changers there. (That's where I found a pointer to my
drive a year ago.) Also www.onsale.com had some for a while..

Thanks for the info,
