Why does the distro A recognizes my mouse and the distro B does not?
I'm insisting on the "why"."
Well because different distributions configure there kernel differently, different versions of hotplug, udev, kernel.
Well, I know this. My question is still valid. Why does every distro configure the kernel differently? Why different hotplug? I understand (and agree) on the existence of some specialized distros. But for a newbie, it may still be a great pain. To come back to my previous question, I can formulate it differently.
If distro A recognizes my mouse and distro B does not. What should I do if distro A does not recognizes my zip drive and distro B does? Try with distro C?
The same can be said about applications. I *really* understand the confusion of a newbie. And now after ~70 posts, the situation is still not clearer.
