Exim is straight forward for basic installation, just like smail. Are you using the smail lists (mailing list fuctions)? I converted a machine at BNL from smail to exim in about 20 mins. The hardest thing for me was getting smail marked to be removed, and exim to be installed, and the whole thing to get forced through dpkg! I, and a lot of others have virtual domains, smartlist, etc running with exim very happily, so just get the basic install done, then fire away with any questions.

Windows machines (3.11 and better) will talk to each other using NETBEUI. Add TCP/IP as a protocol in windows. Under Linux, you should install samba, which will talk to your windows machines using SMB over TCP/IP, the same as an NT or 95 or 3.11 machine. To talk linux to linux, use NFS, and the lpr system can print to 'remote' printers on other *nix systems.

This is what I did at BNL for maintaining the 'black wall' of 150 VALinux boxes. I built 1 box like I wanted, and made a tarball of it and put it out on a NFS server. Then I created a kernel with nfsroot and bootp support. As long as I know the MAC of the NIC in the maachine, you can boot, get all the network stuff assigned by the bootp server, and it nfs mounts a small root partition with a hacked up rcS script. This script partitions the disk using sfdisk, formats the partitions, mounts them, then nfs mounts the old image, untars it, then fiddles with the config files, runs lilo, and reboots. On the 350MB install, this takes about 5 minutes for the whole procedure. Now, with the bootp kernel, we never have to touch the machines again. If we update the image, we run a command on each box via ssh that copies the bootp kernel over the normal one, runs lilo, and reboots, and the whole thing runs by itself. We only have to touch the machine 1 time, to get it to boot off the floppy for the initial install.
