I'll help as best I can. I've done Samba on RH9 with W98/XP 
workstations. File sharing is working and I'm in the process of 
configuring printer sharing. I've tinkered with wine, and need to get 
Act! and a FoxPro app working. It'll be great to share my learning 
experiences.

I can DL/burn some CDs, but I don't know what we need. I will bring the 
latest Wine (changes monthly). Anything else I should bring? (Fedora, RH9?)
