Changes

Although Linux is increasingly making inroads into the desktop market, its origins are very much server based. It is not surprising therefore that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 has the ability to act as a file server. It is also extremely common for RHEL and Windows systems to be used side by side in networked environments. It is a common requirement therefore that files on an RHEL 6 system be accessible to Linux, UNIX and Windows based systems over network connections. Similarly, shared folders and printers residing on Windows systems must also be accessible from RHEL based systems.
