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.

In my personal experience and for my personal needs smb has worked best for me even though it feels kinda "bad" because of the windows background. However that also makes it useful, too, as it is compatible with most os'es...
Security setup is easy. Performance good (in my experience better than sshfs but i am sure sshfs transfers are more secure than smb).
Isn't samba a fork and open source package from Windows's samba/cif ? I think I read something like that on the web, but not sure about that information. So it hasn't anything to do with windows. I may be wrong on that tough !
