MS doesn't update W2K very often, for instance. This is more a sign of neglect than good coding. But if you isolate your server from the outside world, if people don't use it to browse the web or receive email, you've already cut off 99% of the silly MS vulnerabilities. Run a nice NAT router, with firewall if you think that's wise, and you've probably got it up to 99.44% > > 8) The disks have to be visible from Windows boxes, so I can back up to > it and drag .flac files to it.

Also obviously anything running a recent Linux that includes Samba. BTW, and totally off-topic but ... on this forum, samba means http://us2.samba.org/samba/ otherwise, samba means http://www.worldsamba.org/main/ It's a latin dance. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18586 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
