In most cases, plug the USB pendrive in, and Linux detects it straightaway. Which distro are you using?

SeaMonkey = Swiss Army Knife: It's versatile, reliable, and contains useful tools.
Windows Internet Explorer = Old Swiss Cheese: Full of holes, and it stinks!

With a question that brief, it's hard to give a precise answer. If you use a distro like SuSE Linux, it should be plug and play, as DJGM said.

If not you can mount it manually. First confirm that /mnt/usb exists, if not create a directory called usb under /mnt. Open something like Konsole, become su and run 'mount dev/sda1 /mnt/usb'.

Pretty simple stuff really
