From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I also have a QNAP and I have no problem mounting the SMB shares into a folder in the filesystem. If you ever want to try again, feel free to touch base with me and I'll share my config.
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind!
That being said, why would you have to use SMB. I thought that was only for when a machine you need to access through the local network is a Windows machine.
Isn't QNAP, well, not?
I do use SMB as my network has a mix of Linux and Windows machines, so it's easier for me to just admin one single protocol, and SMB works pretty well with both, after a little fine-tuning.
