[GNUz] on Linux compatible HW

[Rik Tindall]

Maybe there'll eventually be a fix to hotplug, so that the hdd's UUID 
can be recognised & given back the same "USB" connection device #?

"Boycott" is one word for it. 'Buy something else' another - the word gets around our community pdq. 

Running gnu/linux has always been about sacrifice, imho, and how much its adherents will happily bear to persevere..

No change here.

Drat! This one is already defunct: The Linux Hardware Project

Quite a challenge, maintaining a database that large (& always growing).
