unmount: command not found
Just a short and simple note here to new Ubuntu users...
When I first started using Ubuntu, this error message that I received drove me crazy. I could not understand why it would not work for. I was running a command like: sudo unmount /dev/sda3. Then I realized that I had been totally stupid, and had miss read it. The command should have been: sudo umount /dev/sda3 umount, not unmount.
I know this is a pretty dumb post for the more experienced Ubuntu users out there, but I just remembered how much it annoyed when when I first started. If you are like me, and still type unmount, and remember it's not, you could always set up an alias for it.
