Hi everybody,
I'm not aware of all past the lectures at Haifux meetings, so if this
topic have already been treated, please accept my apologies and dimiss
this message.
I would like to suggests as theme for a lecture the new udev
(dynamic /dev) subsystem.
Since, it looks like we can reasonably assume that udev will be the only
way to run a linux system very shortly (static /dev is already on its
last legs), and some distributions already enable udev by default.
Topics like:
- the new way of naming devices.
- comparison with the old and good devfs
- udev-devfs naming comparison for newbies.
- following recepies that only mention devfs, but are also suitable for
udev.
For any body interested, here are couple of pointers:
For a description of udev, and what its original design goals were

Cheers,
Paramahansa
