LOL, and I was just about to respond to your other post above about having to have cgminer running and plug in the next U1s. Turns out you don't actually have to do that if you're running on linux, but everyone knew that and it would have just been me chiming in pro-linux drivel. Good thing I didn't do that.
Okay Mr. Pro-Linux Drivel:
For the larger crowd, what will the *new* version of cgminer from Luke(?) change that will (I get the impression) alleviate some of these issues AND speed them up beyond 0981?
I used to be Mr. Tech Genius a while back and installed Ubuntu on an old Windows desktop. After about a year with it, I realized that while it may be safer and faster, that I was effin around with it ALL OF THE TIME! Jeebus is it fiddly. I understand the arguments between Windows and *nix, but I got tired of fiddling. Terminal Emulator on my Android phone now is as close as I get to "su".
