I've just got a message form a charity I know asking me if I could setup a file/prinetr server for them. I haven't asked yet but I assume they're all on windows.
So, samba on a straight forward linux is what I guess I should do, but I'm new to it all. I've never played with samba ...
My question is should I agree to set this up? I can simulate the whole thing from my two computers here at home ... but
a.) will I be able to adjust to and understand the concepts?
b.) do people fell like helping me through this the fast way? Usually I'd spend ages reading - but I can't really ask them to wait a few weeks...
c.) would I be doing them a favour saying no and putting them onto someone else who understands it better, but may charge for setting it up?
if you say yes to a & b then please help me find a 'quick guide to samba' all i found on google was a bit too sparce or too deep.
Have a look at http://www.brennan.id.au/18-Samba.html; might be just what you need, unless they're using a Windows "domain" and have that set up already (probably not).
Paul.
