Yep. it adds native cifs vfs support... some features mentioned by one of the developers: - more stable than smb protocol - faster - large file support >2GB - works with windows 2003 - ... You can read about it at: http://www.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html and the only reason that you need to install samba-client is to install the mount.cifs helper wich simplifies mounting/unmounting...
