udev enables dynamic /dev directory in Linux and ensures persistent device names.
What's great about udev is that it comes bundled with a lot of documentation and full manpages in the source tarball. This makes setup and maintenance a breeze for those who want a seamless experience.
The best part, however, is that udev is included in almost every 2.6 kernel-based Linux distribution out there. As a result, you should always use the packages provided by your distro instead of attempting to install from the source tree. But if you must, please read the README files that come with the source tarball before embarking on the installation process.
