LBK Post 011 Gigabit Ethernet Bridge Allows 15 USB Devices Anywhere on your LAN



Here's a useful little device for your smart home set-up.  An Ethernet bridge that allows you to connect your USB devices at any remote location on your LAN.  The interface has 2 x USB 2.0 ports and a gigabit Ethernet socket.

Yes it is Only compatible with Windows and Mac, but as most of you should know, Mac is basically FreeBSD, so that's why it's Here at LBK.

And I'm sure some of you are running Windows or Mac (or both) in
Virtualized space.

LBK Post 006 Just Wondering What Open Source Has To Offer



Partial List of Open Source Software 

from Wikipedia



    This is a list of software free to be modified and distributed. For examples of software free in the monetary sense, see List of freeware.
This is a list of free and open source software packages: computer software licensed under free software licenses and open source licenses. Software that fits the Free Software Definition may be more appropriately called free software; the GNU project in particular objects to their works being referred to as open source. For more information about the philosophical background for open source software, see free software movement and Open Source Initiative. However, nearly all software meeting the Free Software Definition also meets the Open Source Definition and vice versa.

A small fraction of the software that meets either definition is listed here.
