All this hoo-ha over government data mining has everyone taking sides and digging in. Even Woz has weighed in. (Poor guy can’t even sit in an airport without being pestered.)

This article will show you how to network openSUSE 12.3 with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
It is assumed that you are using the openSUSE default desktop, KDE4 (you’ll need Samba client/server installed).
