I wonder the same thing. I am building a server that will be very hard and |
9 |
expensive for me to access if anything goes wrong with the networking. |

I have the same questions - devfs and udev is the one I am asking myself |
12 |
currently. If I need to upgrade the kernel at some stage due to some exploit, |
13 |
or whatever, and devfs is dropped, do I trust myself to swap over to udev |
14 |
remotely, and get the device name changes perfect remotely? |
15 |
|
16 |
Or do I go for a slightly less mature udev now? |

Is there any policy document that says "Gentoo will move to UDEV (or PHP5, or |
19 |
Samba 4 etc) after 29th April 2005" ? |
