Re: A Pitch for making SAMBA Server a core part of the N800 OS

Danny, I have had great success using SAMBA in my lab to "interwork" between a RHEL3.0 Linux server running on a Thinkpad570 and my main desktop system running Windows XP (as well as other OS's including Vista an Windows Server 20003 by means of VMware and Virtual PC). In those cases where
