Wasn't this recently hashed in here already?  In any case, buying a drive 
is just like buying any other device - some people will have problems, 
others won't, and some devices are just crap.

As far as your choice is concerned (2.5Gb Seagate EIDE), you should be 
fine (lest you come across a specifically broken drive, of course);  I've 
got Linux running across Seagate drives in 1.08Gb EIDE, 545Mb EIDE and 
4.2Gb Fast Wide SCSI-2 configurations - no sweat on any of 'em.

Cheers..
