I was thinking more like windoze really.  If windoze starts having mount 
points like Linux, things could start changing.  ^_^   Think about it, 
windoze currently has to have its stuff on the C drive and Linux can be 
spread out over many drives and you can mount things wherever you want.  
Linux is going the way of windoze then windoze would be going the way of 
Linux.  Weird huh?
