Hi,
Just a question. Since almost all my  company work on a microsoft =
network, is it possible to see a  microsoft network from a Gnome/Linux =
machine??? I know I can mount a Dos partition on my machine, a NTFS (I =
am not sure...) But can I see the Ms-network?

BTW, I am very impressed by the gnome desktop (it also intrigates a lot =
of my collegues). Hope this is just the begening of a new era...

Thanks

Alain

Wayne Roberts has a functional SMB file system and share browser for
the Midnight Commander.  The only problem is that it requires you to
compile the code with a copy of Samba.
