Shashanka,
What does your question have to do with "India's Premiere FOSS Event -
foss.in" - the subject kline of your email? By being fundamentally
lazy or incompetent to start a new thread to this mailing list, you
insult the intelligence of those of us that can answer your questions.
As for your questions, The comprehensive documentation that comes with
Samba should be able to help you do what you want. As for hardware, I
do not foresee any serious hardware requirement.
