Unfortunately, my experience is that Linux has better support for USB2 
than FireWire, but then we're still using the 2.4 kernel on our 
servers. Anyone care to share experiences with the 2.6 kernel?

I've actually have very good luck with Knoppix 3.6 using the 2.6 kernel 
on x86 hardware.  I've also had very good luck with the SystemRescueCD 
on PPC hardware, again with the 2.6 kernel.  I have not installed any 
linux systems with the 2.6 kernel, yet.
