smbfs does not seem to be in edubunto or even breezy??
does this make sense if most of us have to live in mixed Windoze environments?

I can get Nautilus to connect to a server, but this seems to be useless for the programs with standard file-open-saveas dialogs as those server mount points (where are they) don't show up in the dialogs.

in my case I have no say over the backbone environment but I can use the best open source tools for the kids... I want a mount point to hang the existing student folders on that shows up in all the file dialogs for Gimp etc.

if there is a good reason this is left out, please correct me and point me in the right direction.... even when I tried to apt-get install smbfs (a tip I saw on the web somewhere) , apt-get declined to do it.... I am enthusiastic about the direction this distribution is taking but this is a show stopper for me at the moment...

thanks in advance for the help
