WTF? Do Linux distro people REALLY believe that a Linux user will never

a) Google for your local Linux Users Group. Join its mailing list.

b) Google is your friend, in this instance,
http://www.google.co.uk/linux?hl=en&...G=Search&meta=
and for future problems with operating GNU/Linux
http://www.google.com/linux

c) Are you really sure that GNU/Linux is what you need? Perhaps you lack
the patience to learn the skill set needed to use it? Or it could be
that you are a troll.

Yep. tried that too.... Still nothing.

I am really hoping that this 3 hour long OpenSuse install will talk to my XP
boxes "out of the box".

Supposedly that was one of their strong points for joingin forces with
Microsoft.

We'll see if the install ever completes.

Try Linux Mint. One of the user-friendliest distros I've ever seen and I
went through all the popular ones. It's based on Ubuntu, it follows the
golden "one application per task" rule (although you can install
anything from the Ubuntu repos) and autoconfigured EVERYTHING on my PC
where many distros failed. NTFS partitions, shares, sound card - you
name it.

Now I almost feel bad that I spent my own time to google an answer for your
problem and point out that it's not hard. You have spent who knows how many
dozens, propably hundreds times of time that it took from me installing
different distros and whining about it not working out of the box! Even in
windows you will have to do certain steps to get it work - and yes, I know,
have done it on 95, 98, ME and XP. Those steps have no big difference BUT if
you insist I'd say that in case of Ubuntu the more difficult is windows (and
ubuntu also installs by default with firewall that you can at least take
seriously).

Preach on... yes, you are correct; but I find the other way around
annoying too -- Windows XP can't use NIS and NFS "out of the box".
Worse, compatibility is not built in at all.

This, of course, forces me to use SAMBA, but I use it from a server
perspective, not a client. Still, the SMB (or CIFS, what the **** is it
now?) client browsing is annoying. But the lack of NFS v *anything*
(2,3,4) support in XP is UTTERLY INEXCUSABLE.

After all, it is a standard supported by every other major OS: HP, IBM,
SUN, Linux.

XP doesn't even seem to support automounter maps! Either from NIS or
LDAP! I am not a Windows guy; how am I to incorporate XP into the
network?

But, Linux (most varieties) browsing XP SMB shares isn't pretty (it
can be done, but it seems painful).
