(I have yet another computer on my network: a dedicated Windows box that I use for video capturing. I've said on other threads I am not satisfied with the video-capture and DVD authoring support Linux provides, and note that Linux does not support Blu-ray, in playback or especially in burning. So samba is a must for me.)
