Not sure which section this fits in so we'll try here first.

Does anyone else use samba for transfering files?

Was playing around the other night with workgroups on the network and came across "samba"

Was the first time I had heard of it but it turns out to be pretty nifty.

Two of my favorite devices now run it.. My DM800 and my Galaxy.

After setting it up i can now browse both the flash and HDD in the DM in windows explorer and can map it as a network drive.

Same for the Galaxy, can browse the flash and external SD cards over the network.

If anyone is interested in a bit of a tut / talkthrough we could do it here.
