Yeah, I was surprised to read that too.

I've never been a big swat fan. So often, GUIs get in the way--I see
that all the time on Fedora forums, noticing all the issues people have
that I don't have, because I've come to prefer command line
tools. For me, the fun part of Linux, and the thing that actually
brought me there (I started my career as an MCSE), was working with the
text files.
It's not that hard. I have a (VERY dated) article on Samba, that might
even have a few relevant points, at
http://home.
Of course, what's hard is what you don't feel like doing. I always
start saying bad words to myself when working with printers, but find it
fun to google for an hour to find the one line I have to put in my mutt
configuration file to do something new.

usually no one dies.
