Can someone explain what Samba is? Am I correct to assume that it allows my Linux system to see a W2k system?
The name of the protocol that Microsoft uses to communicate between machines is called the Server Message Block, or SMB. They had to come up with a cool project name for smb, and samba was a natural choice :) And yes, it allows a windows machine to talk to a linux box, and vice versa. //Anders
