Moving From Windows To Linux (Charles River Media Networking/Security)

A few very important topics were covered in this chapter. We discussed Samba, a critical utility if you want your Linux machine to be accessible from Windows machines. Samba enables you to run a mixed environment that combines Windows and Linux machines. We also discussed the Service Configuration utility. This is very useful for finding out what services are started, and stopping or starting them as needed.

We completed the chapter with a discussion of adding printers. At some point, most people will want to print from their computers. Using the Print Queue Wizard, you should have no trouble hooking up most printers to your Linux machine.
