Hello!
Editing fstab to mount drives at boot is fine and dandy. However, one must remember that if it's an external drive, or is not there at startup for some other reason, your system will become unbootable until you fix fstab.
Recently, I had a partition unavailable for some reason, and wasn't able to access that partition to fix fstab on it from a LiveCD. The only thing that saved me was having another Linux OS on the same drive I could boot into, so I could fix LL's fstab. At that point, I decided I'd rather type my password...
