[X4U] Networking to Linux

[Hector Luna]

If you just want to have a file server, you can't go wrong with Samba
(well maybe you can, but you'd almost have to work at it).

I haven't had much success using Linux as a print server for my home
network, but I didn't put that much effort into it, and Ii used
slackware, not SUSE, there might be some differences there also.

I did use the Linux box as a web server w/ an apache/php setup. I was
working on a web app and so i also installed MySQL on the Linux
machine.

All in all, it worked ok. I even ran it headlesss. If I ever had to do
anything with it directly, I just opened Terminal and connected to it
via SSH.
