Not so with the new installer, which I've tried. It does a very good job
of hardware ID. The new installer is what some of the newer Debianish
distros (Userlinux, Ubuntu) use. However Debian still doesn't seem to
have something like kudzu's ability to detect the presence of new hardware
in an already-setup system. But I'm still evaluating Ubuntu: I have yet
to offer it some new hardware to see what happens.
