And not the best time to do it since most Linux has just had it's
networking ability (With Windows via Samba) destroyed by the Samba
developers, or at least that is what it looks like from here...

Supposedly a security issue, but all my Windows (Inc Vista) can see and
manipulate the shares on the Linux machines with no trouble, the Linux
machines however can't see anything except the workgroup, so the Windows
machines are made more secure but the linux machines remain blissfully
ignorant of the fact that they are being observed :)
