Well spoken, thanks Chris.

If you want a cheap arduino without the USB use a pro mini. Can be programmed via USB and a 1x6 header, but no USB/serial on board.

Hehe, they're never quite sure which colour LEDs to put where, and where each resistor value goes... Soldering can look a bit so so too, but is easy to fix while things still have pins. Cheap way to get a 328 and a PCB for it without having to invest.

Is there a way under Linux to find out thich ftdis are fake?
