USB 2.0 For Linux
SilentTone writes: "PCWorld is reporting that USB 2.0 or high speed USB will be hitting Linux first half 2002. Intel is already providing space on its Pentium 4 motherboard for the USB 2.0 controller. With a transfer rate of 480Mbps (more than firewire's 400Mbps) it seems promising." Update: 09/04 23:02 PM GMT by H : So, somewhere between my preview and going live, I seem to have "lost" the link - if you find it, please post below. I'm looking - in the meantime, this is a good Linux and USB tutorial, and Blue Cat Linux is supporting USB 2.0. HA! Found it - story updated.
Will someone please hurry up and mod this freak a troll please, I'm all out of mod points! I'm very sick and tired of hearing BSD zealots bash linux.
I have nothing against BSD. As a matter of fact I LOVE BSD. I have deployed all the major BSD variants (Free, NET and Open) and their merits are undisputable. But for crying out loud this flaming is FUCKING ANNOYING!
And the funny thing is that what you guys accuse Linux users of you are guilty of yourself! I'm thinking in particular of the 1337 h4x0r attitude. While a number of Linux lusers have been guilty of this in the past I'm seeing more and more BSD lusers doing the same thing. By bashing Linux! "I'm so 1337 u 1inUx users 5ucK! Switch to BSD! It's awesome. It doesn't suck like linux!"
So please shut up and stop being hypocrits. BSD is great but so is Linux. Get over it! No one wants to hear your whining.
Now someone please mod this post as offtopic.
P.S Oh and for the record. Regarding my first paragraph: I'm also sick of hearing Linux users bash MS.

Hey, self-taught programming freak-boy......do you actually have proof that FreeBSD's annoucne suppro wans't days before Apple announced USP supprt, and BOTH parties had USB support before any Linux Distro shipped w/USP support?
You are quick to whine, quick to ask for moderators, but where is your proof that I'm wrong?
Links, whiner boy....links.
If it was said on slashdot, it MUST be true!
His post was the troll, not mine. Explanation:
My post offered a honest opinion (in a purposefully-loud tone) and gave facts and explanations to back it up.
All he did was bash Linux. He mentioned how BSD had USB before Linux in an attempt to make linux look inferior. Then he offered a rude joke that bashed MS and Linux and made BSD come out favourable. What he essentially did was offered an opposed opinion with nothing to back it up in an attempt to aggravate his "target".
IMHO his post was troll-like. Mine was rude and flameful, but it was well though-out, had a point and was not meant to offend anyone. It was meant to simply to point out how annoyed I was at his post.

Hey Troll whiner.....where is your links to DISPROVE MY STATEMENT that FreeBSD had USB support before Apple and BOTH had it before Linux? Oh, wait, you have no facts....just linux hype and got a moderator to back it up.
(and for the record, NetBSD had it Before FreeBSD)
If it was said on slashdot, it MUST be true!
Just as the Evolution Theory was about to be proven to the scientific community once and for all, Slashdot Editor Hemos mis-places the Missing Link. Conspiracy theorists believe this is the result of an international coverup funded by religious organizations in an effort to keep the Evolution Theory down.
In related news, Linux is rumored to support the new high-speed USB 2.0, which should begin to appear in kernel version 2.6, due out by the end of 2044.
