USB drive unmount

[Ian Moore]

Hi,

 Ahah, this was going to be my next question on the list!

 I've finally installed a USB card into our server which is running 6.06.

 Tested it and found that sometimes you can unmount a USB stick by right-clicking 'eject' and other times you can't,
 it gives you an error.

 I've never been impressed with the procedure I have to go through when `stopping` a USB stick on Windows XP 
 which I occasionally have to use.

 To be honest most of the users on our Edubuntu office server don't know what 'umounting' is in the Linux context
 and it's probably best left that way!

 Okay I shall pin a notice next to the Server saying 

   "No need to 'stop' your USB stick before removing"
   "Check USB stick light is not active when unplugging"

 I may be moving away for a year from my current job and so will only be able to provide
 support for our Edubuntu office computer system remotely either by phone or ssh.

 So an intuitive easy to use GUI and a package of programs which work well together is quite 
 important if normal Windows users are to be attracted to Linux on a long term basis.
 Makes the admin job easier too.
