Disclaimer: I have _no_ experience with Samba (or git yet), my last use of Microsoft software, was boot up a laptop and point Microsoft Internet Explorer to http://goodbye-microsoft.com to upgrade it to Debian Sid. ;o) ..what you want, if you don't have an high end multi thread box that can run virtual "boxes", is an old pc with a Debian "base" (bare bones) install, and then git and possibly Samba. (Is Samba even necessary for FG development on MSW off a lan git server???) ..accepting the defaults on the installer prompts, should get you there in good shape. Caution, Debian has _tons_ of _nice_ tools that will _easily_ _distract_ you. ;o) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
