Linux kill USB box
Linux kill USB box (US$17999 only for you my fliend)

RSN: Selling "Linux kill" USB boxes. With this hardware you'll kill Linux (only hardware reset will boot the box; three finger salute does not work).

Why? Linux USB and through that also "virtual SCSI layer" is full of Scheisse, so a faulty device would hang within seconds your machine that all your FSes will be blocked - you may see messages like "kernel: journal commit I/O error", or then not - after that nothing works. har har. 

$ df
-bash: df: command not found
$ ps
-bash: /bin/ps: No such file or directory



The product is red color neat box which has on top of it written using unfriendly letters text "Do panic".

Linux compatible hardware box
Linux compatible hardware box (US$25999 only for you my fliend, was US$15999, save -US10000)

Because Linux module architecture is not properly implemented for plug and play device, like USB, I have decided to market Linux compatible hardware box which is a box you may attach to you laptop/desktop and it will provide properly functionable plug and play for Linux.

Linux compatible hardware box contains lot of switches and buttons to provide resets for underlying devices in you laptop/desktop. After the reset a device provides "I/O Error" for Linux device which will cause the functionality Linux should have contained in the first place: RELEASE THE DEVICE and kill all the processes waiting for it.
After the installation you will get rid of situations like:
