Can Red Hat Linux 7.1 connect as a workstation to a Windows 2000 Server, or to an NT4 server? (or . . . is there a Linux client for Windows?) If yes, how's best to do it? Thanks.

now.. you didn't search this website at all before posting did you..? that question gets answered every day here...

please search this forum. if you have problems you can't find, then please ask later.

I have searched the site (granted, not exhaustively). Samba doesn't sound like what I need . . . though my frame of ref. is not UNIX/LINUX, but MS and Novell Client/Server, so maybe I've got a misconception of what Samba is. I'd like to see a number of (relatively inexpensive) Linux workstations connecting to some kind of NT server, and doing a substantial subset of what an MS workstation can do. What I've read so far about re: SAMBA talks about a LINUX server and Windows workstations, just the opposite of what I'm looking for.
