User Space Driver for USB Storage Devices?

Posted by Cliff on from the spreading-the-word dept.

Zarf asks: "With Linux, if you don't like something, fix it yourself. So when I couldn't get my USB pen-drive to work and none of the canned solutions were satifactory... I took it upon myself to fix Linux. I've posted my solution in my Slashdot user's journal. But it seems to me that there must be a better way to promote my solution. Where should I post my fix so it can help the most people?"

    Slashdot is the wrong place not only for the driver, but also for you. You had a need, and used the open source philosophy to scratch your itch, and then released the code; Slashdot is designed for people who don't actually have coding skills, but instead like to talk about how great open source is because if they could code and if they ever actually needed to, then they could modify software.

    Oh, and for people who waste their lives gaming too.

    Any thoughts to port it to C and releasing it as a closed source driver? Might make a couple bucks...


    Your promoting recoding into C, making it closed source and then SELLING it for profit?

    What kind of geek are you?
