Captainbill, I've been running my MM on both Fedora 13 and Windows7. I've found it more reliable on Fedora. I just plug it in and it works.
I had to install UUCP. I dont think Ubuntu comes with UUCP from what I read.
I just installed it using
yum install uucp.
I know ubuntu doesn't use yum, but I'm sure you'll know what to do there.
When I plug my MM into the Fedora box it creates a /dev/ttyACM0.
It doesn't seem to matter what USB port I plug into, I always get the same device file.
From there I just
cu -l ttyACM0
and I'm connected.
cu comes as part of the uucp package.
Some have had problems with windows where you disconnect the MM and when you reconnect you have to kill putty and restart. I haven't had any issues like that with Fedora.
