Also, if you have hal installed, GNOME & KDE should automagically
handle removable devices for you.
UUIDs are helpful if you have a known set of devices you wish to use. I
just let gnome handle the mounting (I think it uses hal to do it) and
unmount it with pumount. Once I have disabled nautilus from opening a
window whenever a removable device is mounted, the process becomes
terminal friendly. Plugin, cd, do_stuff, pumount, without ever having to
reach out for the mouse.
