Thank you! I think I can figure that out. My direction of data travel is primarily towards Linux. Once I have things figured out I can drop windows.

They all have tcp/ip stacks so can all connect to each other to communicate. They need only the same application protocol, such as ftp, ssh, smb or a variety of others. If all you want to do is share files then samba(smb) is probably the best choice for you. If you'll have your shared drive on the windowsME machine, just setup a share, then use smbfs on the linux machines to mount the windows drive. If you want to share the drive(s) of the linux machines, then you need to setup the full samba daemon and depending on your distro may require more configuration. It's probably not worth your time to setup sshd on the windows system, so don't worry about ssh.
