Hello,

i would like to start a thread where everyone posts his solution for
removing HAL or says why "nanny-features" like HAL shouldn't be enforced
in Linux.


Disable HAL in Xorg on Debian / Ubuntu

Disable automatic polling of CD/DVD-ROM drives to save power (and time)

I wonder why people who need "nanny-features" like HAL refuse to just
use windows instead.

Hmmm ... convenience?

If you push such thought, ... Why even have X ... we can edit
everything by ed command. No vi(m), no emacs, .... and few essential
packages only will get to use Debian.

Have fun.
