 I've been trying to tell you for the past few posts.... nautilus-share *is*
installed by default on Ubuntu releases, from 8.04 upwards, and it prompts the
user to install Samba automatically when the user attempts to share a folder for
the first time, using a nice and user-friendly yes/no dialog. Or was it
OK/Cancel, I can't remember which.

I'll refrain from commenting on this since it's irrelevant. By the way, please
do not equate me with "Linux". I am a human being. Linux is a kernel. And my
name, well it's in my signature.
