[SlugBug] Re: SlugBug Digest, Vol 16, Issue 11

[saifi]

Hi ,

Please ignore my last mail, I managed to install Farsi fonts and in 
openoffice , I can write Farsi text, however I can not do that in 
Scrbus, if any suggestion on that, I appreciate.

Could you  also can advice me on Samba. If in your network there are 
more than one pc with linux, do you need to install samba server on each 
machine?

Cheers

Saifi
