Yes, no problem in using Linux and samba as a server for SIMS.

Sorry, I do not work in education (I run a users group), but have an interest in seeing Linux picked up for educational use ... So please excuse me if this is a silly question, but can you tell me what SIMS is (a URL to read up on it would be fine - you don't need to post a full description to the list :-) Ta, Kevin Taylor (Northants Linux Users Group)
