You can convert the disk to a linux native format like reiserfs or ext3 during install and then create your shares using samba. The workstation doesn't care what format the disk is because the system presents a windows share to the network via samba, which all windows boxes can interface with. As long as the server OS can read the filesystem, it will work. -- /g
