I  didn't  say they had to, but I found it an interesting question. It's by no
means impossible to release closed source products on linux. BUT it would have
been  interesting  to see if it would work better than the current development
phase,  where people could actually find and comment bugs produced. Their beta
release  cycle  would also work better if one constantly could check out their
CVS and see what's being done.

Yup.   Linux   can   handle   that,   as   said   in   another  thread.  Visit
<URL:http://www.linux-usb.org/PressRel1.html> and the rest of their website. I
use  USB  in  linux  for  both  Logitech  Trackball mouse and MP3 player (MPIO
DMK128).

An idea is not responsible for fools who believe in it.
