Re: SMB Browsing Tools

Thanks for the post. We have actually been throwing around the idea of many different ways to overcome the smb browse issue and I believe the most current proposal is to use pyNeighborhood (which is a python+pyGTK port of linneighborhood to the GTK2+ library)

I believe this will be a subject best discussed in more detail after the release of feisty and could very well be a target for feisty+1 release

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...
