If you like to avoid this problem, try to educate the Lunix kernel maintainers
not to stay living in the past....
I wouldn't live in the past if you would get the hint that SCSI is dead
for probably 98% of your users, and trying to use connections which
depent on the fantasy that the devices are scsi is a source of endless
grief. Only the commands are (sort of) scsi, the transport is almost
entirely gone for CD/DVD.
Usability only depends on the kernel quality.
If you have problems on Linux, try Solaris, FreeBSD BeOS/Zeta or even MS-WIN
Linux is the only OS around that still suffers from unfixed bugs from the last
millenium when looking at the SCSI transport.
The world has gone Linux while you weren't looking. Actually while you
were hiding your eyes... Sun is *paying* people to port their linux
applications for Linux on SPARC. Tens of thousands of people attend
Linux World Expo, there is no Solaris world.
