We had a good meeting yesterday in the White Hart at Holsworthy. One subject that came up was Samba file sharing. I had heard of it but I had completely dismissed it as of no interest due to my misunderstanding of what it was all about. At home I have a desktop computer and wife and daughter each have their own laptops. These are all set up with Linux. I can see that file sharing could be useful at times. So back home I started researching. I have installed samba on my desktop so now I need to start finding out about it all. So on to Google to see what I could find. I have discovered quite a lot but there is one problem area. All the tutorials assume that you want to link a Linux computer with one running Windows, or vice versa. In fact some of them clearly stated that the tutorial was all about linking Linux to Windows and that the case of Linux to Linux was not covered as it was 'different' and needed a separate tutorial. So, if anyone can point me towards any tutorials or help files which specifically cover Linux to Linux file sharing using Samba I will be very grateful. And yes I do have friends who use Windows but I have neither the need nor the wish to share files with them.
