639425 2008-02-11 06:53:00 The main question I have is...

Currently, this PC is part of a network. It's the PC the router is attached to. (Don't know if that makes any difference)

If I was to run in Ubuntu, would the other users in my network still be able to access shared drives on my PC?

Or would I be having to set up a new network for each OS. If so, would that impact the other users connecting to the net?

Sorry if this sounds vague, I don't know enough about this to even pretend to sound liek I know what's going to happen. :rolleyes:

639426 2008-04-14 06:11:00 The latest beta of Ubuntu 8.04 is a quantum leap forward. You can read and write to NTFS with the default settings and you don't have to mount the drives.
When your network's set up you shouldn't have any problem seeing those drives.
If you need help setting up the network the best place to get help would be the Ubuntu forum
http://ubuntuforums.org/

Hope this helps :)
