just .02, and not trying to deny or put down anyone's problems with udev. And I'm sure you ()and many) are very frustrated. I've had exactly 0 (zero) trouble with udev from day one on my 5 real and 3 virtual debian machines. I suspect that is the case in most applications. I think that the issue is that when it does go wrong, it can go horribly wrong. But I also think it is plenty ready for general usage. cheers A
