I tend to agree with this sentiment! Ive got caught a few times showing 
people my linux box and have forgotten to kick the disc out and have 
been bashing away at the drive button going what the heck is up with this!

Another "basic" question!

Is there an active database of  queries which would contain the command 
line comands such as su -c "eject /dev/cdrom" which are highly useful 
but instantly forgettable for those that are not power users?  In fact 
would it be possible to connect to such a database though help with a 
How do I...... type of question?

Cheers
