I'd always wanted to run the spin and be able to connect to Windows 
shares.  Our own systems are NFS based, running a Samba server as 
well, so we connect without difficulty at our own site over NFS.  I'd 
always wondered why the system wouldn't see Windows shares, though.  I 
actually hadn't realised there needed to be another program installed.

It would have helped us, at the start, if it had been in.  I also like 
the idea of using the CD spin to pop into some other machine, and be 
able to connect to Windows shares, and (of course) I couldn't so used 
a Ubuntu CD instead.

But XFCE is pretty good, in my view, it is quite fast; I just think 
adding the facility to see Windows shares would be good.

(Just seen Christopher's post, too.  Being cloud 'refuseniks' we don't 
use Facebook or whatever so won't see his 'polls'.  But we'd like to 
have smb in the spin.)
