No Samba shows windows share files. You need a windows computer running that is charing files or folders for samba to see. If you dual boot and are in linux then sanba cant see anything b/c windows isnt running and sharing anything

That's why u need to install samba on both...

It can.
U could install it on a fat or NTFS partition(they both suck!).
quote:will it be able to recognize an NTFS partition (not to install on, but just to store files)
--- End quote ---
YES! ;)

i have not downloaded Fedora core 1, so i can't coment about that, however i started out using Redhat 8, and soon after bought a boxed-copy of Redhat 9.
i was just starting out with linux about a year and a half ago, and redhat was extremely easy to get used to. after the first week in the redhat bluecurve GNOME desktop i felt a loss when i was running windows. it is soo customizable, configurable, and user-friendly (although overwhelming at first).
if you have any questions about using any distro of linux, please ask!
also...i just thought about it...
you said you made a 10gb partition for your linux install? you might want to think about makeing at least a 500mb partition for your swap partition.

I have decided to go with Mandrake...
Swap partition?

mandrake will be able to see, mount, read, and write to your windows drives. In fact, I installed 9.1 today (Part of the "desktop' challenge i got myself into), and i was able to mount my windows drive (dual boot) and write to it. Easy.
It is running like a champ. Very responsive.
Refalm:
Mandrake is great for newbies. It has all the right programs and it does everything automatically, including dual boot.
