Hey, it works on my Bodhi Linux (E17) PCfm file manager.
My Mageia (and others) are KDE and doesn't work with Dolphin file 
manager. I don't have any Gnome (or Unity) installed anywhere.

Thanks for your help, Kevin. Appreciate it.

Now if I can get OTG usb drive to work...
Maybe if I root the device....but the Nexus 7 is too new

So I have no reason now to use Windows...unless my sons bring more than 
3 friends over to play networked Starcraft... ;(
