Kubuntu 6.06 File Sharing and Using VMWare
File sharing is one of the PCs main reasons for existence. Linux is no different and excels at being a file server (we'll cover that in a Samba Server Build) as well as sharing files between clients. If you have a network like mine, it's a mix of Windows and Linux machines. Say I have completed turning all my Cd's into mp3's and now my wife wants to listen to them on her XP box. We'll cover that. Maybe she has a file that I need on my linux box. We'll cover that also.
So lets start by getting the linux box to see the and pull a file from a windows client. This is pretty simple and straight forward. We installed the software during our build. Its called SMB4K and is located in the menu at "Utilities->SMB4K". Lets open it up.
Full Story.
Also:
VMWare is a great tool for anyone to use. With it you can build machines in a virtual environment. These can be machines of any version of Windows since 95, Novell, Solaris, Linux of just about any flavor, MSDOS, and of course our old friend FreeBSD. You want to learn a new OS. Load it into VMWare and have at it!!! Its a great tool for testing also. We aren't going to go into too much depth on all the possibilities but we are going to cover getting it installed and using it to build a virtual Windows XP machine.
