Funny - I haven't even FINISHED Linux support yet :-)
Don't pin judgement on the Linux project when you're using an INFERIOR Plug-and-Play implementation on a lame OS like Windows95 or DOS.
But *DO* voice your opinions on what you *WANT* the Linux implementation to do/not do. I'm *ALWAYS* open for suggestions.

Agreed.
Get a DECENT PnP implimentation on a DECENT OS with software configurable devices (PnP, PCI, PCMCIA, EISA, MCA, etc.) and you'll have fewer headaches.
