I am using Slackware 8

I thought about Samba but it seems kind of overkill. Is there much 
overhead having it running all the time? Or can I just start it up when 
I want to move files?

Would it be possible to burn cdr's over the network through Samba? I 
have all SCSI on my Linux box and would never want to pollute it with 
IDE/ATAPI ;-) but the drive are so much less and are outdated so fast it 
would be a nice work around if you could do it.  ie: 'cdrecord 
/mnt/samba/windows_box/cdrw_drive/file.iso'

Thanks!
