I don't think setting that up will be any easier or harder on Centos than Fedora 5 or 6; setting Samba up is easy on any of them. So, I wouldn't change your existing systems for that, at least not this late in the school year. There are other reasons to upgrade, chiefly the fact that support updates are no longer being produced for Fedora 5 & 6. But that can wait until summer.<br>
