In my work, the best way to run a network is to keep to a minimum the number
of computers you have to service.  Therefore, if Samba can be configured on 1
computer, thereby making all Linux workstation share resource available to
all Windows workstations and visa versa, then why install Samba on each Linux
workstation?
