[Ubuntu-PH] Mounting harddrives

[Arlan Tiu]

Whoa, thanks for the script.

I'm still getting use to linux commands, I can't still understand the
script that you gave but I'm studying it. :D

Thanks for the help.

Another question, will UBUNTU Intel x86 edition will run on Intel
Celeron 633 processor?
