6 in 1 flash card reader?

I remember the sys admin at Puppy Linux spoke about these multi-card readers. The issue is that Linux will only detect the first card port, whatever/whichever that one is.

So depending on what the first slot is, then this will probably be the device that is detected.

Apparently, single card readers fair much better.

Yes.

If it is the first slot, then this will give the distro the opportunity to mount or recognize it. It should be sda...or something like that. If an icon is not automatically put on the desktp, type in dmesg in a konsole and see if you see a line with sda..or sdb.. that shows that it was recognized and assigned a drive/partition designation.
