sharing computers

[Gary Kirkpatrick]

Thanks for the suggestions?  What I want to do is network over the
wireless.  I have a laptop and a desktop.  Share files, printer (apparently
Lexmark does not support Linux), etc.

Not sure if I have nautilus.  I'll check.  I should be able to find it
somewhere if I don't.
