I've always hated Samba. Not because samba sucks (Samba rocks), but
because windows does, and it can sometimes be an amazing hassle to
get samba configured right to deal with Windoze. And every time M$
comes out with a new release of Windoh's the old working samba
config doesn't work anymore because unimatrix-bill changes things in
some idiotic way to just to break samba, I swear. It was a lot
easier to get netatalk running on debian, in fact it was a snap
compared to some of the samba setups I've had to do.
But then again, we're talking about someone using DivX, so what can
I say. Just kidding, really.
