Samba serves out windows-like shares that can be accessed both from another
linux machine or another windows machine. Although I would recommend that
you use samba to share out to windows and NFS to "share" out to linux. NFS
affords you much more capability and retains all the facets of ext2.

Subject: Server for winders & linux on the same box ?
I have at home currently one pc that's up and running (dual boot winders &
rh6.0 ) but I've been nagged to (finally) set up another for my g/f.
this is what I have :
1x PII 450 32mb ram 10gig hd
1x P 150 32mb ram 1.6 gig hd
1x 486 32mb ram 400 mb hd
what i would like
486 server ( ??? ) linux only but serves winders & linux
pII = dual : winders & linux
P = dual : winders & linux
what i think i know (*ehe*)
i heard somthing about samba (?) is this for winders serving only ?
(NFS?) is there a general doc for this that I missed somehow in my search ?
is this all possible ?
can I put in a couple more hd's in the "server" and install apps on it that
can be run off the other machines ?
can I do this fr winders & linux on one machine ?
would I need to get anything else ?
the main reason for all of this is I want the server (?) also to be able to
connect to my isp and the connection shared between 2 of us, I also would
like to only have apps installed once as I do a lot of development and need
as much space as possible to work with. also it would be nice to have
access to all data at once no matter the o/s I'm currently using on the
client box :) And being able to do a port without having to reboot etc to
test would be _very_ nice.
sorry if I didn't phrase this question correctly, but i'm still _very_ new
to the networking side of computing.
TIA (_again_) ;-)
