It just doesn't work as good as in other OS's. I.e my usb joystick is not correctly attached to the system (see other post - joydev). The hotplug scripts did never lock up. What really got me angry was a stupid bug in the ieee1394 driver that caused a kernel panic because i unplugged my iPod in the wrong moment causing the whole! root partition to go nuts. Even the journal was corrupt forcing me to reinstall the whole system. Luckily i always have a seperate partiton for /home so my personal data was not affected by the crash. This is related to linux hotplugging but not directly to your work. The last time I experienced such a behaviour was with Windows 95. In my personal opinion Linux has lost LOTS of its stability with the 2.4 kernel. I really hope that this will change with the 2.6 release.
