The most reliable way of doing this would be to run Samba server on your Linux web server. Your Windows boxes can mount your Samba shares as if it were a Windows file server. There are however a lot of security things you would need to be careful about if you try to set this up. Be careful, make sure you apply all security patches at all times. You may want to consider some of the upcoming Linux classes to be held at McKinley community school or Honolulu Community College in order to learn how to use these Linux server stuff effectively and securely. (Announcements of those are coming soon.) What kind of web development are you talking about? If you mean HTML editing and layout design, the editors tend to be more like powerful text editors. I haven't tried it yet myself, but people say good things about Bluefish. There are probably others. Real web development with dynamic scripts and database is where Linux shines though. You need to know programming to do this, but your capabilties are far beyond what is possible with simple static pages. Warren Togami [EMAIL PROTECTED]
