You definitely need smbfs package on debian to run that mount command.

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.10.101/music ./test
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.101/music,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22

after installing smbfs
apt-get install smbfs

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.10.101/music ./test

What kernel version did you guys say cifs will be coming with?
As far as gnome mounting windows share and putting a shortcut on a
desktop. Is there a way to access these via command line. I couldn't
find a way?
