Trials of a Linux Newbie

Next stages in Samba Configuration

Network Places reports success

Looks good so far, the File Server has appeared in Workgroup Computers and when opened shows half a dozen shares! I don’t want that many available. Groups is requesting a user logon, and Homes has frozen my Explorer – grrrr. I’ve been here before with Ubuntu and this is a real beaut of a crash. Even giving it the old three fingers and task manager can’t get out of it and neither can Shutdown in order to restart the offending Windows PC. The only solution is the BRB - the Big Red Button!!! I’ll be back later, coz I know this machine is going to die for a while due to this. I remember why I wanted Linux.
