Hi Steve,
I have about 7 computers, all Linux or BSD. Are there any cool things I
can do with Samba, even though I have no Windows computers?
I'd use Samba only to support Windows users. Samba provides three things:
1. File Services
2. Print Services
3. Network Logons
As you are a Unix-only shop, you have other (better) alternatives:
1. NFS, AFS
2. CUPS, LPD
3. LDAP, NIS, Kerberos
Some people already know how to configure Samba, because they needed it
for mixed Unix/Windows shops, and keeps using it for Unix-only shops.
That's fine, you won't have to learn NFS, LDAP, etc. But if you already
know those, and not Samba, adding samba would bring no value IMHO.
