Dimitrios, help me understand something here if you will. I've been using Linux exclusively at home for almost 6 yr now. I've just migrated a US Atate Agency over to a full Linux Backend using Ubuntu with Winblows desktops and that may change yet. My understanding is that "X" is merely a service or layer that facilitates the GUI. This makes sense. Why would it do anything else since the majority of Linux apps make backend calls through libraries etc for functions IE; Xine or Mplayer etc. Dolphin with copy, paste or any other basic file operations. If I close the GUI and go full CLI, I should be able (and am able to ) access a USB drive for example or remote file system or see through LSUSB or LSPCI a plugged in device. So my confusion to all this is why would "X" have separate entries to enable "Hot-Pluggable" devices which should normally be available without it? Is this because of KDE4? Thanks and any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
