I am going to install Open Media Vault, have downloaded the iso. This is a NAS operating system, based on Debian Stable.
Planning to install on my midi-tower PC, which has two ethernet sockets, 100MB/s and 1000MB/s. Then configure it as a Samba server.
But, have got Samba going:

Only on Quirky Xerus64 though, which is built with Ubunu 16.04 DEBs.
I will fire up Pyro64 soon, and get Samba going on that.
There is one thing that puzzles me. I can access "puppyshare" from my Win10 machine, but was unable to do the reverse.
I installed network_roxapp_samba 0.9 PET, and clicked on /root/network, which scans for shared folders and creates local folders. It found the local puppyshare, but for the Win10 machine, found it's shared folder but asked for a username and password -- I just entered "root" and "woofwoof" but that didn't work.
