“Plug and play” is not a concept associated with Open Source products.

Thank god that true! I think we all remember the windows Plug and Prey days.

Luckily Linux has other things like "plug in a USB hard disk and don't
have to install some proprietary drivers that knocks out your sound
card" and "know what you're doing before you blindly change things by
plugging something in" and the best one "Plug in someone else's flash
disk and don't catch their virus..."
