Try Slampp....its a liveCD server OS with Samba built-in, and is really easy to use/administer,...... even by windows users<br><br>.....else a linux of your choice plus apache tomcat, or http fileserver, maybe....?<br><br>http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi<br><br>http://httpfileserver.sourceforge.net/<br><br>You didn't specify hardware, so I didn't suggest a virtual server setup.....but<br><br>http://www.petri.co.il/virtual_install_vmware_server.htm<br><br>if considering large drives see also<br><br>http://communities.vmware.com/message/662212<br><br>WINS is 'old tech' [in relation to DNS,] using netbios<br><br>http://64.4.11.252/en-us/library/cc816610%28WS.10%29.aspx<br><br>http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc750589.aspx<br><br><br>Aitch<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br>> Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2011 18:27:06 +0100<br>> From: pchilds@bcs.org<br>> To: kent@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>> Subject: [Klug-general] Samba....<br>> <br>> I want to be able to do two things not necessarily at the same time<br>> but can't see why not....<br>> <br>> I've been asked to set up a File Server for a network of windows based<br>> machines, So I'm guessing Samba here.....
