USB 2.0 For Linux

Posted by Hemos on from the plug-and-play-away dept.

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.

  2. for those censored by ip banning: by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Since i see Slashdot has decided to censor the voices of certain individuals
    with minority views by banning their ips and effectivly silencing their voice
    i have compiled this list of poxies. This allows people who have been banned
    for such things as admitting windows is a very good desktop operating system,
    or that the ruby programming language is a overrated peice of crap or that BSD is dying or that stephen king is dead or even just
    people who enjoy a good goat or two, to resume posting their minorites views
    without fearing persocution from Cmdr Taco, Micheal or their slasbot lackies.
    If you are unsure of how to utilize these to regain your ability to post freely
    here is a quick explanation: In mozilla go into preferences and select the
    advanced section, under it you will see proxies, select an ip or hostname
    from this list and enter it in the field labelled http. Don't forget the port.
    Now your ip will appear as that of the proxy, thus allowing you to freely
    express your views even if they do not coincide with VA Linux corporate agenda.
    Some of these proxies may have died, other may be slow, but certainly there are
    enough here to afford everyone a bit of free speech, for the moment at least.
    Taco is a crafty dictator and he may come up with a new scheme to squash
    freedom of expression, but until then, enjoy...

    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.

Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, s further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.

    Moderators? Please deal with the inappropriate misuse of a +2 posting bonus used on an off-topic post where the normal score of 1 should have been used instead (if indeed, the post should have been made at all). Please teach fuckheads like garett_spencley (gspencley@yahoo.com that such abuse of posting privileges will NOT be tolerated.

    Thank you for your assistance in dealing with this grave matter.
