Well, I have a couple customers who are doing that already. File and Printer sharing with Windoze boxes is simple with Samba. Try Samba.org, there is also a very handy book on Samba by O'Reilly. A bit of work initially, meaning a bit of file editing and testing, but its pretty much set and forget. Also, depending on usage, you don't really need a big powerful box with Samba. I have 20 users on a 300 with 500M ram. Works just fine and it was an older existing box they were going to mothball. SO basicall it cost them about $200US. They are one of those non-profit legal assistance organizations... I spend the vast majority of the time fixing the Winbloze boxes and hardly ever get to play with the Linux server...
