Do Over

Now, I get to redo what I did before.

Assign a Static IP
Setup SSH
Repository Updates
Software Updates
SSH Configuration Changes
Install Samba

No problems. I did notice that I had another, simpler editor already installed called nano. It looks to be much easier to use for a person like myself raised on MS-DOS rather than Unix.

Also, with Samba providing a WINS service, I don't need to use a hosts file on the clients to resolve the server name to an IP.
