This gimmick sound more like a crazy nous control gadget than a USB dongle , but what do I know . The Black Dog is a ego - contained Linux waiter with biometric security . According to the website :
To admittance and employ your BlackDog , you merely plug it in to your host information processing system s USB port * and BlackDog claim over ! Your host automobile s monitor , keyboard , mouse , and cyberspace connection are have over by BlackDog for the length of your session , when you are done , you simply remove BlackDog and everything on the host is bring back to its original Department of State .
I ’d love to see that in action , just to sympathise what was going on . Does it give you a Linux desktop ? A new UI ? assure me ! Tell me !

UPDATE – Wow , an update before I even posted . Reader Phil , whose email I just plant , writes :
Basically , it ’s a usb ovolo drive 400MHz PPC Debian box with 256 or 512 MB of flash lamp and biometric authentication , which autoruns an X host on plugging into a PC or Mac , and flow your apps , as well as contribute you a terminal to apt - get whatever you want . good part , it ’s all open source and whole hackable . Heck , they ’re having a competition to see who can cut up it best .
