I don't know much about the mail problem, but you might want to 'man
xhost' which might tell you how to get multiple users using the same X
server. I believe there is a better way to do it than this, but I ca't
remember what it is.
As far as mount on startup goes, you want the file /etc/fstab

StEve,
Your post is completely inappropriate to the debian mailing list. I fail

There's a review of Debian 2.0 in Linux Gazette
(http://www.linuxgazette.com).
The basic thrust of the article is that Debian is technically a good
distribution, but dselect is a little daunting, especially for people
installing linux for the first time.
Also, Linux has a nice write up in my l
