Re: Is life with 'udev' good?

Hey guys,
I'm considering installing the 'udev' package as part of my Sarge 2.6
installation. My motivation is that I'm often baffled when trying to
figure out which USB device is associated with USB devices I plug in.
Is there a general concensus about whether udev makes life better or worse?
Thanks,
Christian
My experience has been great with udev except in the case of multi-card
reader that I have (not sure how to set that up). Other than that, I can
insert my USB stick and an icon appears on the desktop (Gnome) and I can
click on it and browse it. I take the USB stick out and the device gets
unmounted and the icon from the desktop dissappears.
I haven't been able to make it really work with KDE though. However, it
sure does beat the earlier method I was employing (having sda1 or sdb1
etc. in /etc/fstab which obviously is not a great solution).
Considering everything I have experienced, udev is great. However, if
you are using nvidia driver I guess you will have to load it explicitly
in /etc/modules to make it work. I kind of recall it might have
something to do with udev.
Just ask if you need more help,
