OT Wife almost weened into linux

  a major thing has happened. My wife is now moving to linux, she does not care
just so long as she can get her email, browse the web and play solitare, maybe a
couple other games. Winders got so slow and messed up that photos were too slow
in coming up, of course I told her that was normal for M$. She said it was
faster at work than at home. Heck, I just could not fix it for her, grand kids
were allowed to mess around on her machine,  2 - 6 year olds, not telling the
stress and strain on MSludge got. It just didnot hold up, <g>.

   I have a second question here. I have a /opt directory where no program will
run without a permission denied. if I umount and remount, all works fine.

the below is my /etc/fstab, is there something that stands out here to anyone.

/dev/hda1               /boot           ext3            defaults      1 1
/dev/hda3               /               reiserfs        defaults      0 1
/dev/hda2               none            swap            sw            0 1
/dev/hda5               /home           reiserfs        user          0 1
/dev/hda6               /swdev          reiserfs        user          0 1
/dev/hda7               /opt            reiserfs        user          0 1
/dev/hda8               /archive        reiserfs        user          0 1
/dev/hda9               /test           reiserfs        user          0 1
/dev/hda10              /public         reiserfs        user          0 1


# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none                    /proc           proc            defaults         0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). 
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:

none                    /dev/shm        tmpfs           defaults        0 0

cheers
