Learning Ubuntu #6 - Mounting a Partition, Fixed My Internet Problem, Install Wireshark

1. I find I am access stuff off of the Windows partition frequently, and I plan to do that even more, so I wanted to have the Windows partion permanently mounted. A couple of simple things make this easier:
1. Create a directory named /windoz - i used root, and created it 755, but not sure it really matters
2. Like I said earlier, I am a GUI kind of guy, so figuring out to get Nautilus to "open with" and use "gksudo gedit" to open /etc/fstab just makes it simple
3. I had used automont, and noticed the windows partititon was mounting as "fuseblk" - but after experimentation, the line in fstab should be:
   /dev/sda2 /windoz ntfs
4. Use "mount -a" to test, then reboot - /windoz will be good to go
   
2. Remember I mentioned a couple of posts ago that suddenly all my internet access had slowed down - both on windows and Linux? Did some problem determination today - and I am not sure exactly what the issue was, but it all pointed at an old USR router that I have used forever. I removed it, reconfigured every fricking think in the house to point at a LinkSys wireless router I have also had for a long time, and have all the key stuff back online with much improved speed. Not really sure what caused the issue, but this fixed it.
3. Also, used "sudo apt-get install wireshark" to get wireshark installed. Went perfectly smoothly. In case I have not mentioned it yet, I am a huge fan of the way apt-get work - what a great way to make managing a system easy.
