Hi Folks!

Have been connecting my USB keyboard and mouse to a powered USB 2.0 hub 
just because don't need extensions.  Works fine, except when I do 
something stupid a lock up the computer it seems the keyboard won't 
work: has power, or at least the NumLock LED is on.

Theoretically I'm supposed to do ALT_SysRq_REISUB to evoke a reboot 
(it's a Linux system) but rarely will that work.  OTOH it rarely worked 
when I had the mouse and keyboard plugged in directly to the back panel.

So, any advantages/disavantages over plugging the mouse and keyboard 
directly into the back panel over via a (powered) hub?

TIA!
