I would like to say thanks to everyone who has posted info on this site.
I cant name anyone cause i have read that much i have forgotten every name and post i have read.
So far i have installed RH9, samba and have connected my linux box to my XP box all in less than a week.
That is good for me cause i have no idea how to use linux or windows so all i have done so far is read these forums and asked some silly questions.
So THANKS for the help so far, and for the help to come
