Couple of questions

[msmarti58]

I thought I posted, maybe it did not go thru, I know I forgot to add a 
title. I'm totally new to Linux, just a tinkerer, know next to NOTHING. I 
messed around with Kubuntu but it wouldn't work right on my machine, so I 
found that Ubuntu is pretty much very newbie friendly and am sticking with 
that.

In Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, I have two questions - is there a newsreader so that 
I can read my Hotmail (such as Outlook Express allows you to do or Outlook)? 
Also, how to automount a hard drive? I have an external USB hard drive with 
no operating system on it, it appears on my desktop at bootup, no problem. I 
have a 40 gig hard drive with Ubuntu on it, and I have another hard drive 
with Vista on it, that one I have to mount manually on each bootup by 
clicking on it and entering my password. I want it to just appear on my 
desktop at bootup like Windows would do it.

Thanks,

Marti
