If you connect a USB data device to your Linux laptop it should recognize. It works with me whenever I plug my USB Hard Drive on Mepis.

Just plug it in and see what happens. When I plug my hard drive in, it automatically mounts it so I can use it straight away.

I did something to Mepis when I used it that stopped it automounting...
Anyway, if it doesn't automount, open up the file manager and type 'media:/' in the address bar. Right click on the device and click Mount. I didn't realise you could do this when I used Mepis and I mounted my pen drive with 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1'
EDIT:
Can you get internet or is it just SMB (Windows file shares) that doesn't work?

You were still logged in from last time.
I can't think why you can't get SMB.

Of course. MEPIS comes with it. How else would he try SMB?

No. That does not mention (desktop) Linux. That says embedded Linux. They differ in that one runs on a computer and one runs on a device.
