Samba Allows Linux To Talk To Windows 3.1x, 9x, and NT
The Samba
software package allows Linux to share files, printers, and other
kinds of data with Windows boxes on the same network. It can act as a
Primary Domain Controller for a Windows NT network. On the same
hardware, it beats Windows NT as a Windows file server in some
benchmarks!
Of course, Linux can read files from Windows shares and print files to
shared Windows printers. Many businesses use Linux as a file and print
server system (like Cisco). You
may be using Linux where you work as a file server and not even know
it!
