I canвЂ™t think of a more convenient solution, certainly not editing /etc/fstabвЂ¦ My favorite setting is вЂњPreviously mounted disksвЂќ which always retains the current selection through reboots. You can choose which partitions exactly should be mounted automatically.

As the screenshot shows, this is fully configurable. For non-native partitions you only have to click your mouse *once* (hold mouse->select partition->release mouse). There are plenty of reasons that show the BeOS has the superior mounting solution of the four, does anyone here think otherwise? if so, do explain your reasoning.Д«TW, one correction to the text- BeOS doesnвЂ™t mount all mountable partitions automatically. Why should they bother to manually mount their disks from the command-line, if the other desktop OSes can do it automatically? Could it be that Windows, MacOS, BeOS (and even Mandrake) got it wrong? Red-HatвЂ™s usability has improved a lot, but issues like this clearly show that itвЂ™s still not on-par with commercial desktop systems. If Linux only wants to be the desktop OS of programmers and geeks, thatвЂ™s fine, but for ~99% of users, deciphering man pages and editing system files just doesnвЂ™t cut it. Now, this issue may not seem important for the typical OSnews reader, but for most end users, any technical barrier that stands between them and their files is unacceptable.Д¬ompared to Windows, BeOS mounting allows you to access foreign partitions and is much more flexible and compatible вЂ“ out of the box.Д¬ompared to OS X, it supports more file systems and is easier and quicker to use вЂ“ again, of the box.Д¬ompared to Red-Hat Linux, it is *vastly* easier to use. Guys, I believe itвЂ™s obvious that BeOS has the most thoughtful, easy-to-use and versatile mounting solution of them all. Just thought id point out you can preaty much get any modern op sys to do what another can theese days (within reason mind you) Im not nocking be loved it in its time and its true they were light years ahead but it dosnt mean that the other opsystems are useles Its true that some of the solutions i use arnt native and you have to launch the 3rd party prog or util first but im also exceedingly cheep and cant afford the 3rd party apps that allow easier integration Simply right click them and select read/writeДЄ whole ton of linux distros now automount all filesystems but also allow greater plug and play support Some might get initially confused since its selling point is it dosnt need a hard drive its default setting is to leave those hard drives read only

You want a great example download knoppix (live cd version of linux (it runs off your cdrom not your hard drive)) and it not only auto mounts hard drives and partitons on your desktop but it allows manipulation of them easy Im reasonablly certain the ability still exists then at the console leval on a macДЄnd as far as using red hat goodness gracious can you pick a worse example for linux redhat dosnt include many of the gui apps that console fearful users love like webmin and linuxconf etcвЂ¦. Mac well if bsd and linux can do it (which i know they can)

but i can hadnle all the filesystems with freeware and opensource)

(ps its a windows box using open source and freeware tech like cygwin utils and explore hpfs and a whole bunch of others in fact mircosoft has a pay package that allows unix compat etcвЂ¦. My server at home handles all theese with no problem Almost everyone of the options that did not score a 10 has a third party or open source solution so i dont buy it
