Debian GNU/Linux is the computer operating system that I use when I get to choose. It's a version of the GNU/Linux operating system that's developed cooperatively by people around the globe. It's very stable, very high-quality, and you can decide for yourself whether you want older, more proven software, or newer software, or bleeding-edge software. Freedom and control. Sweeeet.

  First make sure that you've got the right packages installed. I needed to install dbus-1, dbus-glib-1, hal-device-manager, and ifrename (and all of the other packages that apt-get pulled in).

One of the packages that gets pulled in is udev which is a daemon that manages the device files in /dev. udev doesn't auto-load modules the way devfs used to, so you probably want to load the modules that you need by listing them in /dev/modules. In my case I needed to load 8250 since I've got a serial mouse.
