It's not a Linuxism, it's a RedHat-ism:

bj@epoch:~$ ls / /mnt
/:
bin/    cdrom0/  etc/     initrd/  lost+found/  root/  usr/      vmlinuz.old@
boot/   cdrom1/  floppy/  lfs/     mnt/         sbin/  var/
cdrom/  dev/     home/    lib/     proc/        tmp/   vmlinuz@

/mnt:
bj@epoch:~$

RH's /mnt/cdrom irritates me to no end, since /cdrom is so much easier
to tab-complete; two characters, and away you go.  Oh well...

(Yes, I know it's easy enough to change.  That's not the point.)
