I think you misunderstand the Raspberry Pi option. Steve Todd has put a lot of work into it, and it pretty much works as you describe: It¡¯s a box that you just turn on. It comes up in a few seconds without an further attention.
Although if you have to reconnect USB each time, perhaps there¡¯s something else going on. Why do you do that?

Thanks all. Sorta what I expected. I was looking to see if there was a way to flip a switch and and fire up my layout ...both the layout and any associated computer "stuff'. Currently, I must fire up my layout plus a computer plus connect them via USB plus start JMRI and its web server. Not a big deal but I was just curious if there was a faster way to get everything up and running. Part of my curiosity was associated with my lack of knowledge with Pi, Arduino and other electronic gadgets coming into the modeling world. Thought they may offer some help in my quest.
