-Currently my network has 6 networks running Win 98 for the staff

- It is shared on resource level like //danny/work, //danny/documentation
- the printer is //accounts/canon
- If I wanted to find out about sales stuff I might go to //sales/pricing

I need something centralised so I can go //samba/documentation,
//samba/accounts
Then I want to install a TAPE drive to back things up 

Here are some of my proposal for the solution: -

- Install Freebsd and NFS server. Get Freebsd to share the printer and the
folders
- I heard of some tool called Exalaber that can also do the job
- Samba - to share files with Windows 98 and share printers with Windows 98

Question: -

- Will Samba be able to solve all my problems?

- If I configure Freebsd as a NFS server is it possible I can make Windows
98 a NFS client?

- Maybe I better solution that may not involve Freebsd.


Any advice will help alot. Thankss.
