Here,
/dev/.... : Device - the hard disk (physically separate, or formatted)
/mnt... : Location where you would do a "mount"
ntfs-3g : Tells you how to interpret the data / format of the drives - the file-system type. Possible values could be vfat, nfs, ext4 etc...depending upon what you wish to load
defaults 1111: These are options - better do a man mount to understand these...defaults means that it uses the default options that are rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async.
# :Last, but not the least - all comments start with this.
As usual a zillion thanks to: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html, which tells us "How to edit and understand /etc/fstab".
2. Second thing I prefer to install is VLC
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm yum install vlc
3. Google chorme
Step-1: Enable yum repository - create file /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo ,with following content (64 bit):
[google-chrome] name=google-chrome - 64-bit baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
Step-2: Now, give following command:
#> yum install google-chrome
4. Acrobat reader :
rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
yum install AdobeReader_enu
Now, it could be started as: #> acroread
5. Others....

6. WINE - the Windows on Linux...is it!
yum install wine
7. Running _IE_ on Windows
Earlier it was ie4linux, but now "Winetricks" helps us:
wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
mv winetricks /usr/local/bin
I.E. (installation) needs this:
yum install cabextract
Now, start winetricks, and go to the option "Install a Windows DLL or Component",Next panel would allow you to choose between IE6/7/8...wow, too much of choice, isn't it?
It may ask you to download dotnet20.exe into folder /root/.cache/winetricks/dotnet20 and then run this winetricks again (for IE installation).
