Samba

in

Samba is long for SMB which is short for Server Message Block which is also known as Windows Networking. Samba enables, among many things, a Linux machine to be a peer member of a Microsoft Windows network. This case describes the process using Ubuntu Linux.

Although it is one of the options available when installing an Ubuntu server, you can add it later with "tasksel" at the command line (Applications, Accessories, Terminal)

sudo tasksel

All the machines on the network need names and IP addresses. The simplest mechanism to mapping addresses to names is to edit the "hosts" file. On Ubuntu that file is /etc/hosts. My home network has four machines, a router and a printer. My hosts file looks like this:

Graphviz

in

Those who are starting to explore diagrams, organization charts, flow charts etc. would do well to start here. Graphviz does lots of tricks but the simplest is the directed acyclic graph or DAG. Before you run away, a directed graph at its simplest relates two "things" such that one leads to another, e.g. a->b or a leads to b. Think "flipping the switch turns on the light". The part of Graphviz that takes the left side leads to the right side statements is called "dot". Pretend you are Aristotle expounding on causation or a preacher drawing the creation process from Genesis.

Inkscape

in

Inkscape is a graphical front end to an SVG. In some ways it is like Adobe Illustrator but it has a number of extra features which rival Adobe Flash. It doesn't do photos but will trace them and it doesn't do videos but will do animation.
