I just finisched installing SuSE 8.0.
I installed CD1-2 and was wondering what are CD3-4-5-6-7 for?
I'm connected to a 3-way network and I was wondering if the network could work.
The other two computers are running XP.
Is it possible a 3-way Linux-XP-XP??
Thnx

network MAYBE through samba. I don't know how good it is with winxp yet.
the other cds are either sources (probably last 2-3) and more binary files. (various other programs)

samba allows linux PC's to talk to Windows PC's. See www.samba.org for more info.
Sure its possible to connect all of your computers together. See networking howto for more info.

Samba Works, but Linneighborhood is much easier for simple file sharing. :) Both work just fine with XP.

Linneighborhood sounds nice.

How do I install it?

RPM since you said you are a newb :) Also, I think the Gnome desktop may ship with linneighborhood if I recall, maybe only with certain distributions.
