    Arrow Packages with Samba / Debian

    Hi Eveyone,

    I thought this would be the best place to ask such a question, I want to have roaming profiles on my network, I was told it was best to use Samba with Debian...

    Does anybosy know of anywhere I can get packages that are all prebuilt and ready to use?

    Regards,

    AdseJam

    installing packages on a debian system only requires having a properly configured sources file and using either apt-get to install what you want or aptitude from the command line

    Yes.. I know that, but I dont want to go through the trouble! I mean, I could even follow a tutorial on how to set up a SMB on Debian, What do you think? Do you know of any titorials?

    I'm confused with what you want.

    You have to install the software, no way around that.
    You have to configure it yourself because every configuration is different.

    Just google samba tutorial

    The Samba package in Debian's respositories is prebuilt -- so using apt-get will grab just what you want: a prebuilt Samba binary. It's as simple as
    Code:
    apt-get install samba
    (or aptitude install samba if that's more to your taste)
