Hello!
To quote a friend in a different venue, "It depends.".
Essentially, if you are planning on using OWFS as part of a setup running
on
a Linux enabled router, then the serial device would be my best advice.
However some of the later ones do support USB.
For one such device, not a router, but it does run Linux and several
applications outside of OWFS have been ported to it, people have been
using
both. To use USB there, you'd just plug the USB device into one port of
the
device, and the disk into the other. This is the NSLU2 unit.
Now if you are running OWFS on a full featured system who's dedicated to
running OWFS plus a few thousand other necessary applications, then it's
really your call. Some functions work best with the serial devices, and
some
work best with the USB one.
This is also largely dependent on your distribution. From one point of
view,
mine, I typically end up building everything from source, because
Slackware
does not support any available packaging scheme except the compressed tar
file format.
