Hi Edwin:
I would look at making some custom udev rules.
Here is a line that renames a certain usb ethernet device usb_eth instead of
ethN:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:14:d1:*",
ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="usb_eth"
Look at
A friend of mine last night showed me "awesome", a tiling window manager based
on twm (I think).
Looked incredibly nimble, with really good options for tiling, resizing,
floating, and such without window decorations or animation or fancy stuff.

If you use any kind of Logical Volume Management (LVM) and setup the disc in
