Adam, Thanks for the additional links.
I'm a twenty year IT professional and I feel like I am in kindergarden all over again. It is hard to make the switch from Microsoft products and not lose the house in the process. I've taken a Unix class and a Java class at the local community college, and have gotten some basic Samba servers going, after crawling through the documentation for hours. I appreciate any help I can get from this list.
