Samba can do the file and print for you. www.samba.org has good documentation and there is a book by O'Reilly that is good too. It can be as simple as getting Samba up and running and going to network neighborhood and finding the server. As for the Citrix like remote access there is the Linux Terminal Server Project www.ltsp.org.

I do my best to keep a smile on. --Tom Wilson _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
