How to share folders between fedora and vista?

Q. Using SAMBA server, but when Vista tries to access folders, it does not work. Help?

A. I'm assuming you are talking between two different computers!

make sure you create a user with the same name of the person you are logged into the vista machine as, and make sure you set the password to the same password as the vista user (smbpasswd)

You can also edit the smb.conf file where you created the share to make the share public to anyone without a password (not secure, obviously) to get a starting point.

How to monitor a unix server from Windows?
Q. Hi there

I want to know if there is FREE software for windows XP / Vista that I can download to monitor my remote Red Hat (Unix) server. I need to be notified of high CPU load ect.

I don't want to load anything onto the remote server...

A. Download? Download? Netstat, like telnet has been part of Windoze (NT) for ages and ages:

By the way, is this RHEL, CentOS or Fedora? If it is the first you have a consulting contract which should enable you to call and get the answer for the best one by phone. Some of my friends work for Red Hat and even when it's not their job they are happy to help you. If your contract has expired I suggest switching to CentOS which is community supported.

Can you use the same code and commands that you use to set up Red Hat Fedora server to set up Ubuntu server?
Q. I have Ubuntu 7.04 server running on an older comp. i have and im trying to teach myself how to get a web server running. I've got a lot of info off of the web, but i also came across the Red Hat Fedora and Enterprise Linux Bible 4 . I wanted to know if i could use that to work on my Ubuntu 7.04 server?

A. RedHat uses RPM for packaging. Ubuntu uses deb. The package managers and their commands are different. No doubt there are differences in config files (names, locations, etc.)

So, to answer your question - nope!
