My desktop machine with USB, PCI, SATA, eSATA, PCIe and Firewire. And it runs
happily, supports hotplugging devices, *without* hal.

hal, AFAIK, is useful for users who don't want to customize systems; once you
start customizing, hal and similar tools more get in the way than help.

Just my oppinion. Everyone is of course entitled to disagree.
