That looks like a good option. I ended up going to the SuSE site. There is a 
location for current Samba files. I ftp'ed the files and installed via YaST. 
Looks like my first attempt I installed the client (I could view Windows 
machines, but could not share my printer). 

I went back, downloaded Samba and went to the Runlevel editor (I forgot who 
mentioned that - thanks!) and added smb and nmb to init 3 and 5. 

I also installed Webmin, but had a big Duh moment figuring out. I hadn't 
installed or started Apache, so of course Webmin won't work yet. The link is 
here: http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/index.html   - the entries for 
Samba and Apache are to the left.
