Organizing Shares

[David McGlone]

Hi all, I have a configuration question. I want to know how everybody else 
manages their remote shares. For the longest time I have edited fstab to 
mount my shares in /media, but I am wondering if it's easier to just use 
the "samba shares" folder in "remote places".

Matter of fact I would actually prefer to use it in this way, because it is so 
much easier for, I don't have to fool around with fstab on newly installed 
systems.

My question is; is it possible to put those shares in a place that is more 
accessible? like on the desktop or kicker instead of having to go to remote 
places->samba shares?

The reason this came up is because I decided to upgrade my laptop to 7.10 and 
I went with a fresh install and I'm so surprised at how far kubuntu has come 
for me in terms of hardware. What I mean is that _finally_  my wireless 
broadcom card was almost a _snap_ to set up. I was happy that the driver was 
in the "restricted" drivers and I didn't have to install ndiswrapper and all 
that crap.

BUT.... Don't get your hopes up. ;-) My complaint is that the driver was on 
the repositories, Ah Darn, how am I gonna access the internet with no working 
connection, unless of course I hard wire my laptop to my router, which wasn't 
that bad of a thing, but still I think I made my point.. LOL

Maybe, just maybe in the future kubuntu could put it on the disk. I don't know 
much about copyright issues et cetera, but come on it's a no brainer. It's 
like taking a 4 foot kid in a candy store and give him money to buy candy 
from a 10 foot shelve. :-)
