Linux will be the first operating system with official support for USB 3, an Intel open-source developer has announced.
Sarah Sharp, who works in Intel's Open Source Technology Centre, says on her blog that support of USB 3 would soon be integrated into the Linux kernel.
"This is a giant project that I've been working on for the past year and a half. It's gratifying to see the code finally released, and exciting to know that hardware is on its way," she writes. "I hope that some USB vendors who have prototypes will test with my driver."
