        How do you know that Linux is getting popular? When Windows-only people start confusing the Linux service that replicates a Windows native functionality with the Windows functionality itself. Just had someone on another forum ask if Windows could run Samba shares!

        What that says to me is that the poster clearly doesn't know what Samba is, but what they do know is that it's something that's on Linux. Not sure how that proves Linux is getting popular.

          They had no idea that it was on Linux, they wanted it on Windows. They are a Windows admin and aren't aware of Window's own filesharing. They thing that Windows shares as replicating Samba.

            I don't think that he knew what Samba was, it didn't sound that way. I think that he thinks the ecosystem of SMB shares is called Samba. If you know what Samba is, you would never make the mistake of thinking it was on Windows. What's Samba? "A non-Windows copy of the Windows SMB protocol server." Knowing what it is tells you that Windows does it natively.

                Without reading the OP, I guess I don't understand what was being asked.

                  He probably doesn't even know what SMB shares are. Heck I didn't know what CIFS shares were until I joined SW in about 2007.

                    He wanted to see if you could install NFS and Samba on Windows, because he wanted to make CIFS shares (and NFS ones.) Because he knew that Windows used CIFS for Windows server tasks, but appears to think that Samba is what provides CIFS and isn't aware that Windows does that natively.
