Hi All - I am a relqative newb when it comes to networking and want to set up a file server for backup - shared folders etc. Have an Athlon XP 2400+ and a couple of 80G WD800 drives - also have lots of distros - most of which i have played with - the new one being Lorma Linux v5 SAMBA Fileserver. I am running Ubuntu on my laptop and Kubuntu on my main box - both 6.06 - Also have a windoze XP laptop on the system.

As my server box is nearing completion, any tips / tricks / important ordering of setup etc etc I would greatly appreciate (and maybe others would too!)

Thanks -
