Advise and direction required: Network File Server Access
Hi I have a Network File Server (Netgear NSLU2) which I would like to access from my Debian Webserver, in order to store backups created via 'backup-manager'. I have read-up on samba and sbmclient and am totally confused as to which one to install. Regards Nick

I was going to get > something like a 686 300MMX 128MB RAM 32X CDROM UPS etc. That's probably over-specced even for an NT file server. ;-) Besides what you've listed, you should go for an all-SCSI system, not IDE, and you'll need some kind of tape backup. You should make sure you get a 10/100 Mbs Ethernet card, even if you only have a 10 Mbs network at the moment. For software, you'll want to use Samba as the file server. You can also use this as a print server, and together with LPRng and cti-ifhp it works quite well with HP-compatible laser printers.

Network File Server
We are just about to go ahead and upgrade our network. All machines are Wx89 workstations. We were going to use NT Server as a file server but since using Debian i thought about Linux as a file server. I'm sure lots of you out there are doing this so any suggestions (hardware, software packages) and comments (problems etc) would be a appreciated. I was going to get something like a 686 300MMX 128MB RAM 32X CDROM UPS etc. Thanks, Stephen Lavelle Austanners Wet Blue Pty Ltd. ~ Australian Tanned Wet Blue Leather ~ 110 Heales Road, Lara, Geelong, Australia 3212 Tel:++(03)52742232 Fax:++(03)52742350 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
