Especially true with dual boot systems, sharing files between two different operating systems on a single PC can become a time consuming task.  One thing many new users do when they install a Linux on a different partition of the same machine, is to try to connect to the other operating systems and files they have on the native OS.  At least do so without actually having to boot into windows OR linux again or having to resort to other combersome means of getting copies of your files between the two operating systems.  Fortunately latest versions of Linux come with an entire zoo of functions to do this with.  And the best part is, it's not that difficult at all:

two) Cluster bombing from B-52s are very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground.

6) Don’t draw fire; it irritates the people around you.

4) Blue water Navy truism: There are more planes in the ocean than submarines in the sky.

9) When one engine fails on a twin-engine airplane you always have enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash.

10) Airspeed, altitude and brains.  Two are always needed to successfully complete the flight.
