How to deploy Linux server into a windows invironment?

Clarifications

I use UBUNTU server. Add/install SAMBA on the UBUNTU server and you can share files and printers with your Windows machines. Quite a bit more difficult to configure if you have never used a Linux/Unix environment before. But, if you like a new challenge, give it a shot. That's how I learned. A lot of good forums out there to learn about it (ubuntuforums.org) for one. Got to have patience though (which is a must for any tech job)

Good Luck!
