I dealt with udev too. I switched to something that doesn't force me to chose having /usr on / or having a init thingy. Since I switched, I can have /usr on its own partition and not have a init thingy. Having options worked very well. Not having a option would not have ended as well for me and others. For me, I just didn't like the way udev was going so I, and others, complained a lot and when someone came up with a better plan, I switched as I'm sure others did too. If people that use Gnome don't like pulseaudio, they should have a option to use something else. If they don't have that option, then in my opinion it is perfectly acceptable for a person to say they don't like it. If everyone just goes along and doesn't say anything, then people that can make a option won't know one is needed to begin with . I shortened the above but since you mentioned using windoze instead of Linux, that is not a option here. I'll donate money/time or whatever I can to Linux but I will NOT pay for a OS that is even half as crappy as windoze. I have never bought anything M$ and have no plans to ever do it either. It just is not a option for me. I have family/friends that use windoze and that is about all I can stand. Actually, I switched my brother about a year ago. I switched him to Kubuntu but it still beats the stuffins out of windoze. Just my $0.02 worth. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
