Thank you everyone who responded.
Armed with all this feedback I think I really only need Samba. Simple
for file sharing and as a backup.
I have an 8G USB backup drive that I bought on sale and have not used.
I am thinking I can use it. I'm thinking it will be slow however I
really do not need much.
Thanks!!
Keith
