Hey, do *you* know how to make Linux recognise the fact that I just 
plugged in a USB sound card and that sound should be routed through that 
instead?

Similarly, do you know how to edit /etc/X11/Xconfig because you just 
changed your video card and now X11 crashes on startup?

[The nice thing about SuSE's configuration program is that it will works 
even if X11 isn't running...]

This is also what really keeps me from trying a Mac. I'd basically have 
to throw all my software away - and what's the point of that?
