    Was wondering if there is any possible way to have a Ubuntu machine connect to WHS so I can see my shares?

    Yes. The open source equivalent to SMB is Samba, which I would assume you've heard of.

    As for how to configure your ubuntu installation to access an SMB share, try this , which was the top result on a Google search for "ubuntu SMB".

    Windows Home Server (Windows in general) uses SMB for file shares. So just connect that way.

    Ok, sorry I am not sure what you mean by SMB?? will the ubuntu machine be able connect to the folders just like a normal windows machine? Ie, all the folders that WHS sets up?
    and how do i set it up?
