Most of the time I'd agree, but Samba really isn't suitable for sharing files between two linux boxes. For example, if he wants to have the same home directory on both linux boxes, samba can't do it. Samba's protocol has no concept of unix permissions or symlinks or any of the things that a unix file system needs. Unfortunately, you're pretty much forced to use NFS if you want to anything more than just simple file sharing. On my home network, my home directory is on 3 computers. NFS is the only thing that can do that (at least that ships with redhat).
