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. thanks, Duncan -- Linux user #372812
