It's getting easier and easier to network Linux boxes with Windows boxes. In Mandrake it's as simple as right clicking on a folder and hitting "Share". This will share the folder with samba and nfs. However it may be beneficial to many people to know how to integrate their Linux machine into a Windows network whether it be at home or at work. I know I really could have used some of that knowledge when I first started out on Linux, and I'm sure I would still gain allot from a presentation like that. Here are my thoughts: - The smb.conf file lets you specify many options, but it's very confusing. It would be nice to go over some of the more common options in this file. - There's no "Network Neighborhood" per-say in Linux (although there is software that tries to emulate it). It would probably help lots of people to go over smbclient and smbmount as well as some of the GUI front-ends for these commands.
