Q: To browse from Red Hat to NT4 I used smbclient. Is there a more convenient option that turns a Linux machine into an SMB client? Q: I have heard *nothing* good about NIS/NFS. Will I be forced to use NFS to network the Red Hat, SuSE, and FreeBSD machines? ------------------------------------- + SuSE (laptop), Red Hat, and NT4 ping each other ! + Red Hat Samba daemons run + NT4 box sees Red Hat Box + NT4 box accesses files on Red Hat ! + Red Hat sees NT4 + Red Hat accesses files on NT4 - Red Hat prints to HPLJ-1100 on NT4 ! + Red Hat prints to HPLJ-1100 on Red Hat - NT4 prints to HPLJ-1100 on Red Hat - SuSE networks to NT4 ! - SuSE networks to Red Hat (over Samba?) - Compile C++ 'Hello World' program on SuSE ! (Need to get to work on Rio Salado C++ class) - Repeat with little FreeBSD box. --------------------- 2/5ths 'complete'. '+' marks complete items.
