This is the first public release of rumba. If you want a short description of what rumba can do for you: you can mount volumes exported by Windows or related operating systems on your Unix machine. For a more detailed description I will quote from the README file: What does rumba do? =================== If you know smbfs for Linux: rumba is roughly the same. It is derived from smbfs, but runs as a user level program, not in the kernel. If you know samba: rumba is roughly the opposite: a client for the Lanmanager protocol. If you know neither of these: rumba lets you mount drives exported by Windows (f.Workgroups/95/NT), Lan Manager, OS/2 etc. on Unix machines. Does rumba run on my machine? ============================= Currently, rumba can be compiled for: - NEXTSTEP 3.X and 4.X (tested for i386 and m68k architectures) - Linux It should be relatively easy to port rumba to other Unix-like operating systems (see "How do I port rumba to XXX?" [in the README]) Copyright: ========== rumba is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (version 2). For more information please read the README file.
