[xubuntu-users] Fwd: New to Xubuntu/Linux

[Stefan Schwarzburg]

Hi,
browsing smb shares within thunar (your file manager in Xfce, which is the
Xubuntu Desktop Manager) is not as easy as it might be in Ubuntu with
nautilus ( your file manager there).
You can find lots of information about this topic in the xfce mailing list
archive ( http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/thunar-dev/ for example). But
they will all show you that the developer of thunar thinks, that this should
not be done by him, but by people developing a samba file system. So what
you would need to do is mount your samba file system to a mount point using
e.g. smbfs and then you can go there with thunar.
If you need to have something like this without beeing able to do some
scripting yourself, you might be better of with Ubuntu.
Cheers,
Stefan
