| 445652 | 2006-04-11 02:27:00 | As far as I know, all distributions supply it (and probably install it by default). :D You might have to set up its configuration file., and start the service. Otherwise, "samba your_distribution's_name download" to Google. | Graham L (2) | ||

| 445654 | 2006-04-11 06:21:00 | I second Graham - it is good. I use it for a file server for a primary school and in a PC lab at a polytechnic for file services in a MS Windows environment (workgroup in one and a domain with the other). It works well! | johnd (85) | ||
| 445655 | 2006-04-11 06:54:00 | Use it at home, so the XP PC can connect to my Linux Box with all the storage space. I play MP3s/DVDs over the LAN and no problems. At work - used as part of OS X Server. Haven't heard any complaints yet. Samba has excellent guides on its website of how to use it. Pretty much boils down to customising smb.conf |
