While I believe it's possible to use a samba server configured to auto-convert
from windows eolns to unix eolns when files are written, I believe all of
our developers users programmer editors which are smart enough to recognize
unix eolns and deal with them automatically.  I'm pretty sure MS Developer
Studio is one such, and our users have both a unix shell window open (for
cvs commands and launching builds) and a DS window accessing the same source
files via a samba mount.  (Our samba doesn't enable the auto-eoln setting.)

JBuilder is another such editor, if you're doing java.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried.  Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
