Awesome that you stuck this wiki page up. I think most of it is gold and I'd quite like to rob a significant portion of it for a generic TKL "Considerations For Windows Users" (without some of the RoR stuff), which I may well do in the near future (if someone doesn't beat me to it).
My main consideration is that IMO installing Samba to an appliance is a huge overkill and definately not necessary (or even desirable) Although having said that instructions on how to are not all bad. But IMO while a little scary for some, command line instructions are easier and more full proof. Instead of convaluted instructions:
I think that installing some client software on the Win machine is far easier and much less daunting for a Linux newb Win user than mucking around installing and configuring Samba! Filezilla and WinSCP are 2 SFTP clients which are easy to install and use on Win OSes and will basically connect to TKL out of the box with bare minimum configuration.
I was almost tempted to edit your wiki entry but I thought that for now I'll just stick this comment on and see what others think. That was my experience (as a Linux newb Win user when I first encountered TKL ~1.5yr ago) anyway...
Nice work on the Wiki entry but IMO Samba is overkill!
