Subject: Samba Shares via Command Line? (Oh, and viewing pictures)
So here's the dealio.

As many of you know, I happen to attend an online high school. This
allows a great deal of flexibility. When I'm vacationing somewhere, I
can just SSH back home and access all my files. I can get a
half-finished paper from my desktop, work on it some more, and turn it in.

However, this year I am taking a C++ course. For many of the
assignments, I have to use Visual Studio. I have made the Visual Studio
2008 dir on my Windows box a Samba share, but I only know how to access
those using a nice pretty file manager such as Konquerer or whatever
that one in GNOME is called. I would like to fix that.

How do I access Samba shares with the command line? It is driving me
mad, not only the idea of not being able to access my code if I am to go
on a surprise vacation to California or whatever, but also having one
more reason why I can't just go totally CLI (I'm getting there though).

Oh, and while I'm on the topic of CLI, a friend of mine for some odd
reason is stuck in a command line environment. He would greatly
appreciate being able to simply view images again. If anyone knows of
some way to view .jpg's and .png's from the command line, please reply
with such info off-list.
