I've also got some *nix experience, and, frankly,
anything
that requires I
recompile the OS just to install a driver is too much
trouble. I've done
that, but hopefully never will again.
I thought I would mention here that Unix has had dynamically
loadable kernel modules for a while. I know from experience
that the Unix PC O/S (at least from 3.0) uses them for graphics
stuff.
IRIX has also had them, after a fashion, for a while. (Actually,
IRIX has a "sysgen," but technically it's a re-link, not a re-
compile)
