I recently stayed after school at the highschool I attend to install Linux. The comp techs there are interested in it so I offered to bring in some copies and install. I installed RH 6.1 and it worked very well. We got on the network fine, but we can't get to outside sites because of a proxy server they use that I can't seem to set up right, but thats not my question :p. I was talking to my computer teacher and he's used to the normal windows set up with file and print sharing. He had a Worms demo shared on his server and 5 people would be playing it at a time and even more could. You just goto network neighborhood, find the file and run. It pulls it off the server and runs the program on the client. Is this possible with Linux? Say store windows programs and be able for windows clients to take them off the same way? The compatibilty isn't an issue really since the game/application will be ran on the windows computer, but can this pulling of files be done with linux?
