actually, configuring samba was pretty simple.. i did that today in 30
mints.. under KDE, go to documentation and HOWTOs and read howto on samba..
I had to add 2 lines to some file and configure samba shares thru linux
conf and running /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart and that was it!
btw, do you guys know that once u run samba server, it shows up in other NT
boxes as Windoze NT 4.2 server ;)).. wonder where the 4.2 came from ;)
