Well, I'm pleased to report that the 2.6.10 (newest current)
kernel, with included legousbtower driver, worked well with
the tarball of brickOS 0.9.0. I haven't tried the Debian
package yet.
I noticed that on the Debian package page, the brickos-0.9.0
package is in "unstable", which means there is a small amount
of extra effort required to retrieve it, as my system is
mostly "testing". It looks like the dependencies are
satisfied within "testing", though, so there's probably no
serious problem.
I did have one small difficulty with the 2.6.10 kernel
configuration, the lego USB tower option is in "experimental",
which for some reason didn't occur to me. I spent quite a
while trying to figure out why it wasn't appearing where I
expected it in the kernel config.
Now, I just need some project ideas, and perhaps just a
smidgen more spare time...
