From my understanding, isn't the same guy doing devicekit that did |
| 17 |
hal? I'm not saying it won't be better because it should be. From what |
| 18 |
I read a good while back, he learned a lot about the pitfalls of hal. |

think hal was well intentioned but somewhere it just got lost and got |

I'm hoping devicekit will be easier to config if not automagically |
| 25 |
