1. Xwindow port of Winpopup, running over Samba This allows a linux system to communicate with a windows computer that runs Winpopup, sending or receiving message. It also provides an alternative way to communicate between Linux computers that run Samba. Note that LinPopUp is not only a port, as it includes several enhanced features. If you want to be able to send messages, you _must_ also install smbclient. Linpopup only recommends smbclient instead of depending on it, as perhaps you want to only receive messages with it. Users of versions < 0.9.4: note that the message file has moved, and isn't compatible with the old format anymore. From Debian 3.0r0 APT
