This module is available under rmm-utils in public cvs. This is currently not ported to linux as it uses some underlying solaris specific media library but i am pretty much sure we can put some equivalent library in linux too and use this as hot pluggable stuff. currently its like if you put the audio cd's it starts the gnome-cd, if its a data floppy it will put the nautilus file manager etc.

This sounds like something that I really would like.  I would like to be 
able to plug my USB Flash drive in and have "the system" automatically 
mount it and perhaps open Nautilus.  Of course this could extend to 
other devices such as cameras, CD's and the like.  How advanced is the 
coding on this system and is a Linux port planned ?
Thanks
