HOWTO enhance Debian by removing HAL

[Dirk <noisyb@gmx.net>]

Hello,

i would like to start a thread where everyone posts his solution for 
removing HAL or says why "nanny-features" like HAL shouldn't be enforced 
in Linux.


Disable HAL in Xorg on Debian / Ubuntu

Disable automatic polling of CD/DVD-ROM drives to save power (and time)

I wonder why people who need "nanny-features" like HAL refuse to just 
use windows instead.
