I have an external firewire drive and it works just fine. Just keep in mind
Linux still doesn't have the greatest HFSplus filesystem - I have my drive
formatted to ext2 - refular hfs should be fine. You can read and write to it
with some new tools, but I've found weird things tend to happen with the
permissions. I have no idea if you can boot YDL from it. I would think any
keyboard and mouse would work - aren't they all standard? Sometimes
keyboards have extra features that might not work I guess, but the standard
stuff shouldn't be a problem.
