      Recently I began using network shares, and I learned how hard it is to create one… I searched for GUI’s to do that, and the first one I found was actually more complex than sucefully following LearnLinuxTV (youtube channel) tutorial on the subject…
      And then I discovered system-config-samba – it’s a simple and useful GUI, perfecly localized to boot.

      Mini How to create a shared samba folder:
      1- install (samba and it’s dependencies and then) system-config-samba
      2- antiX Menu > Preferences > Samba
      3- Select the folder you want to share; choose a name for the shared folder (optional, if you don’t choose a name, by default it’s the same as the real folder); choose write and visibility permissions (with a simple tick); in second tab select who can access the share (just check the allow access to everyone, if you don’t want to use a password, for example) and it’s done! Yeah… it’s that simple- no need to edit config files…

      My antiX 21 laptop is on vacation :-), but my antiX 19 computers run just fine the mx package I got here:

      http://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/mxlinux/mx/repo/pool/main/s/system-config-samba/system-config-samba_1.2.63-1mx17+1_all.deb

      Is it possible to add it to the antiX repo (it’s not on antiX’s 19, and I could not test in antiX’s 21)

      P.
