+        
+    <div class="article">
+    <p><a href="http://www.reallylinux.com/">Really Linux</a>, a "Website for 
+    Beginning Linux Users," has a nice article introducing those new to Linux
+    to file serving with Samba.  All the basics are covered here: configuring
+    the server, adding shares, adding users, and connecting from Windows 
+    clients.</p>
+
+    <blockquote>
+    Integrating Fedora Linux into a Windows network is reasonable and easy 
+    as long as you use the SAMBA utilities.  [...]  Once integrated a Linux 
+    server looks and acts exactly like any other server on a Windows intranet.
+    You will have the ability to drag and drop files, view server contents 
+    and directories using Windows File Manager, and even edit files on a 
+    Linux server from any Windows desktop.
+    </blockquote>
+
+    <p>As the introduction mentions, the HOWTO is specific to Fedora, so the
+    examples are with native Fedora management tools.  There are links to 
+    Samba documentation and a nice little troubleshooting section.  This article
+    would make an excellent resource for those just getting started with Linux
+    or Samba.</p>

+    <a href="http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/sambaserver.shtml">Linux In a 
+    Windows Network with SAMBA</a>.</p>
