Here is my situation. I have two computer one running debian the other is a windows computer. On the debian I have a bunch of music files I want to use from my windows computer. I would like to use something like net use so that I could add more music files onto the debian system as well has play them with winamp. Do I have to use samba to do that or is there an easier way?

SAMBA is the package to set up windows-style file and print sharing. It's very straight forward. Using SWAT, it can be set up with almost no difficulty.

Sorry it took so long to reply but it is midterm week and all I have been doing is homework. I have not got samba to work yet but I have it install. I am reading a tutorial at http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/...TO-Collection/ so I should have it up and running in no time thank you
