Of course, but the OP uses Debian and Debian is known to be used by people who loves to edit silly configuration files ;-) > Yes, it is one of the real shortcomings of Linux.

It is a kernel problem I think, not a distro problem. What about hotpluggable devices which will just pop up at some random time? You can't just load module snd-xyz on boot time, if device xyz is not there at that moment. The device index problem hit me first when I had booted with my USB Keyboard switched on one time and off the other time, which resulted in different indices for the devices. The index module option solves this problem, but of course editing configuration files for module options is not that user-friendly (there are also other drawbacks). >> Does anyone know if any distro has solved this problem cleanly?

No, my knowledge in distros is not that widespread.
