What delay? Gentoo was pretty much the _first_ distro to support udev. They helped out immensely during early development of it, and was one of the major reasons I became a Gentoo developer. The Gentoo udev implementation is always better, and farther along than any other distro because of this. > I know it happened for good reasons > (I'm really honestly not complaining), but, aside from DSL and maybe > Slackware (and technically debian woody, sarge and sid both have udev), > we are the only distro in the top 10 to not have udev by default yet. > Again not a complaint, but something that really needs to happen ASAP > for computers that support it.

Great > job guys! udev is one option that a user can use to control /dev on their box: devfs, udev, or none. We aren't forcing any of those choices on a user (well, the devfs one will be going away eventually due to it being dropped from the kernel in about 6 months...) I don't see the issue here at all. thanks, greg k-h -- [email protected] mailing list
