hotplug is obsolete, udev is now the good way to do (and not hal):
Oh great, even the experts disagree... I gleaned my clip on "obsolete hotplug" from an article about SuSE 10.0 in LinuxUser (German magazine).

udev, in mandriva(2006), now do hotplug job.I can't see how. Hotplug inserts the modules required by a device - I see nothing in udev that's going to do that. hal is a _very_ good way to enable automounting (amongst other things) - it doesn't mount anything, but then neither does udev.
hal seems to depend on udev, but I still havn't got a clue what all these components *really* do.
