    For what it is worth the link is put in fstab so some older 
applications can find cdrom where they expect it.  As for /mnt and 
/media they are both in Fedora 8 as well. In Ubuntu the /media becomes 
the place to attach all the linux systems on your computer.

     My opinion of Ubuntu is it is another Linux just like Red Hat but 
with some very nice changes. People here are interested in getting 
applications to work. This is fresh and fun.
