[plug] SAMBA & NFS

[Chris Caston]

Microsoft have brought out MS Services for UNIX in order to entice
companies to migrate to w2k3, however I believe you can use it the other
way round to get MS machines ready for deploying Linux servers and
clients.

SFU (amongst other things) does support NFS.

I don't know about Samba.

NFS it's self *may* not be the best option if security is important but
I know little about this area.
