Linux V.S. Windows NT V.S. Windows 95

one word: samba

The client functions are pretty easy to master, i.e. sitting at the linux box and
browsing the windows 95 box, just look at the smbmont man page or the smbclient
man page.  The server functions ('sharing' drives on your linux box so that the
95 machines can read them) are a little harder to set up.  Someone else will have
to post suggestions for that, because I've never gotten it to work.
