That seems to be the general thread I'm seeing with advice. Everyone is telling me to try Samba. I'll try it and see what I get. Thanks.
Also are there any good guides/faqs on setting up Samba. I'm just trying to run a basic X-server. I wanted to start basic before I use KDE or gnome. I would like to try to run smb from X-server. But any help will be appreciated.
