[K12OSN] Finally need to logon and access homes from windows

[Peter Scheie]

To access your linux home dirs from Windows, you'll need Samba running on the 
linux box(es).  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.
