Pressing a button in Linux is too complicated

[Brian Kelsay]

The distros I mentioned create an icon on the desktop for each non-root partition not required at boot time.  Windows (fat16/fat32/ntfs) partitions, USB devices, ext3 (/extra, /data), etc.

There is also the argument about whether a "user" should be able to mount and 
umount filesystems, or if this privilage should be reserved to the root 
operator.  To me, that's a non-question, it should be specific to a given 
filesystem.  No, the user can't unmount "/".  Yes, they can mount a CD or a 
network share to their userspace.
