Thanks for all the help, I had completely forgotten about the how to forge website.  I found exactly what I was looking for here:  <a href="http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-home-fileserver">http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-home-fileserver</a> The second part of the email that didn't get sent, does anyone have experience with VMWare?  We are having an issue with external USB storage devices in the virtual machines on the Dell desktop.  No problems on the standard Ubuntu installs on the other computers.  For some unknown reason while running Ubuntu as the host OS and Windows as the guest, the storage devices are recognized in Ubuntu and even after unmounting they do not show up in the VMware server console. Thanks!
