"Oh, has Linux been fixed then, so as not to need you to
- log in as root
- type a mount command being a couple of hundred characters of gobbledegook before you can see a removable file system?"
My stars! Haven't needed to do that for many years.
And even if one did, at least it it doable - which is more than I can say for fixing my mate's Windows box with a totally corrupted Registry!
Most modern Linuxes "just work" these days - I did my share of editing .conf files in the old days but have never had to edit any configuration files in Mepis or Mint.
