Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - Supported to 2009
Ubuntu 7.04 - Supported to 2008
The "LTS" version of Ubuntu receives long-term support. 3 years for
desktop versions and 5 years for server versions.
So the 6.06 is indeed in theory more stable and longer supported.
However I saw that Ubuntu 7.04 will be install

If you use Ubuntu 7.04, the mounting of the external disk will be done

Glad to hear it. I explained a little about umasks in an earlier

You need to change the umask. The current permissions are too
restrictive, and woudln't work even if you messed around with
slimserver's group setting.
In terms of remounting the drive, first you need to unmount it:
sudo umount /media/SimpleDrive
Then remount it with the command you already trie
Ok sorry about this.
Is there a consensus here? Do I need to change the umask to change
permissions, or add SS as a user. Either way I am still at a loss as
how to accomplish.
