I downloaded LinNeighborhood in a RPM from freshmeat.net. The first one I downloaded was for Debian distro (I am using Mandrake 7.2 right now). Anyway, I had a problem looking for the executable after installation (had to adapt to the Linux directory structure). For a desktop, LinNeighborhood is a very advantageous tool. But it doesn't generate any errors when you cannot connect to the samba server compared to the command line. The command line, if there is any error, it will generate a message. I still prefer the command line, though I prefer to use GUI when browsing the files (wala ng dadali pa diyan). The said product is not really like the windows version. Kailangan mo rin may alam ka sa networking. Di lang click ng click, unlike sa windows explorer. At least, yung RPM pag install mo hahanapin mo na lang sa /usr/bin (kailangan ko muna magfind kasi di ko pa rin maintindihan ang directory structure). If Linux will be used as a desktop in a networked environment, once the samba server has the correct configuration and running, the LinNeighborhood is a great productivity tool (kumabit lang ng maayos sa server). Imount mo siya sa GUI, tapos browse na sa Konqueror file manager. Pwede pang iset ang password. I advise to those who is new to linux networking (like me), mag-aral na muna ng samba commands at mounting of fs/directories. Pag naka set na ang samba server, saka lang gumamit ng nitong GUI. Or else the user may have a hardtime troubleshooting the networking connection kung di niya alam ang basic. By the way, I sent a subscribe email to newbie (nakalimutan ko na nga ang email address) three days after it was launched (nung bluepoint event). Accepted ako but I don't receive (not a single) email from that mailing list. Could you give me the subscription address again and the forum address? Thanks a lot.
