Samba is a free software re-implementation of the SMB networking protocol, and was originally developed by Andrew Tridgell.Samba provides file and print services for various Microsoft Windows clients [5] and can integrate with a Microsoft Windows Server domain, either as a Domain Controller (DC) or as a domain member.
In computing, a file shortcut is a handle in a user interface that allows the user to find a file or resource located in a different directory or folder from the place where the shortcut is located. Similarly, an Internet shortcut allows the user to open a page, file or resource located at a remote Internet location or Web site.
Tridgell was a major developer of the Samba software, analyzing the Server Message Block protocol used for workgroup and network file sharing by Microsoft Windows products. He developed the talloc hierarchical memory allocator, originally as part of Samba.
Peppermint's namesake is Linux Mint. [15] The developers originally wanted to make use of configuration and utilities sourced from Linux Mint coupled with an environment that was less demanding on resources and more focused on web integration. They felt that the concept was a "spicier" version of Mint, so the name Peppermint was a natural fit. [7]
Most keyboard shortcuts require the user to press a single key or a sequence of keys one after the other. Other keyboard shortcuts require pressing and holding several keys simultaneously (indicated in the tables below by the + sign). Keyboard shortcuts may depend on the keyboard layout.
The mount command instructs the operating system that a file system is ready to use, and associates it with a particular point in the overall file system hierarchy (its mount point) and sets options relating to its access. Mounting makes file systems, files, directories, devices and special files available for use and available to the user.
Server Message Block (SMB) is a communication protocol [1] used to share files, printers, serial ports, and miscellaneous communications between nodes on a network. On Microsoft Windows , the SMB implementation consists of two vaguely named Windows services : "Server" (ID: LanmanServer ) and "Workstation" (ID: LanmanWorkstation ). [ 2 ]
Symbolic links are supported by POSIX and by most Unix-like operating systems, such as FreeBSD, Linux, and macOS. Limited support also exists in Windows 7 and Windows Vista, and to some degree in Windows 2000 and Windows XP in the form of shortcut files. CTSS on IBM 7090 had files linked by name in 1963.
