You can use explorer fine, but it may lock-up for a bit when first opening "My Computer" or the actual network shares, until it updates itself (caching probably). Then again, I've found explorer usually locks up for awhile on almost any network related inquiry.... I typically use both explorer and cmd a lot under XP, and find both useless.


You can mount the DVD on the server, and mount it on the clients (if you export the mount dvds point!), but I doubt you can burn disks to it via the network; I would expect that to need device access, not just file I/O. Although konqueror can do a nice job of abstracting that, hehe.


@phoenix, I generally agree: except when multiple OSes are involved and must cooperate.
