scumbria,

My next big task is to get it to connect to my Athlon WindowsME machine. I'm able to ping it over the ethernet, but have no idea how to make Linux and Windows talk to each other in any meaningful fashion.

Start by putting both machines on the same subnet, then load Samba onto the Linux machine. Don't forget to disable the NT Domain server option within Samba. Samba, if you didn't know lets you use NFS/UFS space as an SMB mounted share within Windows. Good for file transfers between the boxes. You may have to disable "Encrypted" passwords within Windows via a registry key setting. It will be documented in the docs directory in the samba distribution.

Fire up an Apache web server on the Linux machine as another way to quickly get files from UNIX to Windows. Also, let's you play webmaster if you're into that kind of thing.

I have lot's of experience with Samba and NT, two Sun Ultra II's supporting 800 engineers NT access to a couple of terabytes of NFS space. Also, Apache web servers and other UNIX stuff, 15 years as a UNIX sysadmin.

PM me if you need help.
