I'm quite happy with it, I've figured out various hurdles and made my peace with minicom. :D It's blazing fast, and I can do about 98% of all my tasks without Wine or VirtualBox.

Not wrong, just different.<br /><br />What serial monitor did you use on Windows? Did you know Putty is available for Linux? <br /><br />I generally just use Screen on the terminal. It generally auto-detects the settings so just "$ screen /dev/ttyUSB0" in the case of the bus-pirate. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
