There is no difference for me. My gnome build has never auto mounted a |
| 20 |
CD, etc. |

I need to setup my wife's laptop as WinXP-ish as possible so she doesn't |
| 23 |
complain to put WinXP back on. All she does is read email with GMail, |
| 24 |
browse with FF and once in a while uses OOo. All of those can be done |
| 25 |
on Gentoo just fine. However, when my wife puts in her music CDs, she |
| 26 |
wants it to just play the music. The same for a DVD. |

Me personally, I always have gnome-terminal open so it is easier to just |
| 29 |
mount /mnt/cdrom or xine dvd:// |
