[luau] Xandros (Redhat)

[W. Wayne Liauh]

Xandros automatically discovers Windows Network domains and workgroups, 
and then manages authentication credentials required to access network 
resources. It also provides support for Windows domain users that are 
logging in when your machine joins the domain, and allows its users to 
access files from a long list of sources, including HTTP, SFTP/FTP, 
telnet/SSH, NFS/SMB/NetBIOS, LDAP, WebDAV, audio CDs, digital cameras, 
and PDA.  I am sure quite a few experienced Linux users will be able to 
tweak Knoqueror to do this, but it will cost you a lot more than $79.
