Samba 3.0 X
I recently installed the new Spring edition Mandriva One. It has a lot of graphical interfaces. Actually quite nice looking and user friendly. I understand that Samba will if installed correctly give I think I understand, me the use of my Canosoft 3200F Scanner. I downloaded the zip file from the site and saw their Html help file, and ended up scratching my head and wondering how to get it installed and running. Mandriva downloaded the Samba Swat file, but I don't understand how to configure it. I have gone through the Windows side of the sharing configuration and the outstretched hand appears below various icons, but I haven't set if for remote Network desktop operation, as I am wary when on the Internet, someone theoretically can abuse my computer. Mandriva and Windows connect to the Internet through Ethernet and Siemens SL2 Router. I think that I have come to the conclusion it would be far simpler to use a flash USB Key hard drive and store sensitive data on it for dual access and editing. Has anyone else come to the same conclusion?
