Hi,

I'm quite new to Xubuntu (i haven't started using it.. i'm waiting for 
the iso files to download) but i've used Ubuntu and XFCE (on Zenwalk) 
quite often.

I was going through the software listing page at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ProposedPackages and found that there is 
a requrement for a SMB browsing tool. I haven't Tried using FUSE but 
from what I have read it will also overcome one of the biggest problems 
users migrating to linux face, i.e NTFS write access

Coming back to the main reason for this thread... I remember using an 
extremely usefull tool as LinNeighborhood long time back

http://freshmeat.net/projects/linneighborhood/
http://www.bnro.de/~schmidjo/

I suppose this project is not under development. but i still feel that 
this might be useful

Also i came across a tool called xsmbrowser. I cant find any link to the 
web site now but here is a link to a google search 
http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=xsmbrowser

regards,
Surajram Kumaravel

p.s. forgive any mistakes coz. i'm in a hurry...
