[indiana-discuss] How good will Indiana be for desktop computing?

[Bryan Boone]

"kinda there"  means I can see it with nautilus, but not from the command line.
It would be nice to be able to create say, a softlink to it (can I?), after the space has been mounted.
That way I can mount foreing filesystems and use them as my own.

By "kinda there", do you mean what you see in Nautilus aka
File Manager?  Yes, that's useful but not a "real" file
system.

A new CIFS client was integrated into Nevada build 84 - see
if it comes closer, but note there are still some things it
doesn't know how to do yet:
