Niiiiiice.  I've got samba running at home for no other reason than to share
printers to the single old Losedows machine, and on the laptop solely to allow
the windows virtual machine to use the printers on the linux host.  Assuming
bonjour works on Losedows 2K, I'd much rather pitch Samba (which is an 
enormous pain in the butt to install, configure, and maintain).
