you should note though that /media has been created and is used for
automounting pluggable media. the right place to do system wide mounts
are subdirectories in /mnt. if you use /media (which you indeed are free
to do, its your system after all) dont forget that if you plug in a
removable device that registers as "Programs", "Downloads", "Music",
"Personal" or "disk" (i.e. because someone who gave that USB key to you
has labeled it like that) this device will likely mount on top of the
existing mountpoint hiding what you had there before ...
