HAL is not a GNOME thing, it is a dynamic central repository of information
about the current hardware configuration. Other processes use D-BUS to monitor
changes in HAL, so they can mount devices, start programs etc. when hardware
is added or removed. udev is the kernel part which maintains devices in /dev,
creating new ones as necessary.
The upshot is that when you plug in a camera or ipod or whatever it's all set
up for you. And that's cool.
