Unfortunately an OS/2 version of Firefox 3.0 RC2 (Official) has been
delayed. To quote that great philosopher Forrest Gump, "Sh*t Happens".
Mike Kaply is waiting on a new build machine which he should have in a few
days. Once the new build machine is configured, he'll "get all this stuff
built".

2008-05-31
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Mark Dodel
Apparently Paul Smedley has been busy this weekend. :-) I just noticed
that the Samba Server and the Netdrive plugin have been updated to 3.0.28a
on the Netlabs.org FTP server.
"SAMBA is a SMB/CIFS protocols file and print sharing server/client set
originally made for UNIX world to cooperate with corresponding Windows and
OS/2 servers or clients. OS/2 has native implementation of SMB/CIFS
server/client set - IBM LAN Manager and IBM Peer. These products haven't
been updated for a long time and have some compatibility problems with
modern Windows SMB/CIFS implementations."

A rough set of instructions on configuring Samba can be found in the Wiki
at http://svn.netlabs.org/samba - if you have suggestions on how to improve
this documentation, please feel free to edit the wiki!
