Mounting Samba Shares on Ubuntu

As some mooey5775 readers may know, I own a (pretty bad) hard drive that I keep permanently attached to my network. I would call it a NAS, but it probably doesn’t even deserve that status. However, the important part is that it works, and doesn’t experience that much load, making…
