And what about all other devices?
For example, getting a UPS with a USB port working is not something a
non-technical user is able to do on Mageia at present, but is trivial on
Mac OS X (I haven't tried on Windows recently).
The examples in the blog post were about Yubikey and Lego Mindstorms.
Some time ago, on Mandriva, there was a tool to do things like this (it
would put an icon on the desktop for a scanner, or webcam, if you
connected one).
