Linux and Windows XP: They come from diffrent world's right? There is no way you can possibly get the two to comminucate.... behold the magic of TCP/IP, sure the machines are different but the protocol that allow them to talk remains the same. It's all in the tools and knowing how to use them.

The following examples use Debian Stable and Windows XP Home Edition, however the basic principles still apply.

Topics of this article will include:
  • Windows File Sharing on a Linux based PC
  • Remote Desktop Administration between a Linux Based PC and a Windows XP based PC

Windows File Sharing on a Linux based PC

Before we begin you will need a few tools. On your Debian machine, open a console window and become root temporarily.

  • At the prompt type: su followed by the super user password. If you do not know this password either skip this part and hope these tools are already installed and you have the appropriate permissions to mount a netwrok drive.... or stop reading now as this probably won't do you a bit of good.
  • If you have entered the correct password your prompt should say something like root@localhost. Now we have the authority to add some software, we can do this using one of the best tools for the job. APT debian comes with APT so there should be no need to install it, as it is the default package manager.
Note: APT allows you to install applications directly to your machine from a web server out there in cyberspace. It check dependencies for you so there is less fear of mucking up your computer.Now that were done bragging about the reliability and user-friendliness of APT, lets get on to the task at hand.
