[K12OSN] access to samba shares from winxp

[Rob Owens]

Petre,

How do you like Win4Lin?  Can you give me some details of how you use it, and if you've found any shortcomings?

Thanks

-Rob

If your legacy apps run under Win98, you might look at Win4Lin.  It does cost <br>money, about $80 I think.  Load that on your K12ltsp server, and then you can <br>run your Windows apps on the terminals.  I have a couple of applications that <br>only run on Windows, and I use Win4Lin for them.<br><br>Petre<br><br>Debbie Schiel wrote:<br>> <br>>> No what I meant was to have a W2K server on your K12ltsp network, then <br>>> the kids could access the "legacy" - (seems odd to talk about legacy & <br>>> Win in the same sentence ....) app via rdesktop.
