try ccxstream  

i just installed it on my debian laptop. I had to comment a line out of the Makefile to get it to compile though.

So far so good.  

I just recently moved to linux so I am still trying to build my xbox program suite back up.

Anyone have any other sugestions?

Go to http://www.samba.org to get Samba for Linux.  It's fairly straight-forward to install, you can use their default configuration file out of the box and have it work in XP and XBMC, you just need to add additional shares for whatever you want (video, mp3 etc).  <

Webmin and SWAT are both Web apps that you can use to setup/config/run SMB.  Very easy and all point n click.    <
