So I wonder what exactly you want to compare with. NFS perhaps?

I don't want to compare different file systems. It was only a question of terminology: why to call a machine running Windows Server file server, while a Windows XP machine sharing folders could do the same thing.
Windows has a server? Since when? :P A client sharing a folder is set to use the permissions on just that client. It cannot set global permissions for the whole network (domain) whereas a file server typically is set as a resource on the domain and given instructions to share folders based on domain permissions. Also, a file server typically is a beefier machine than a desktop. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
