in reply to How to connect to a Windows server from Linux

My rough guess is that it is probably rather irrelevant on what machine your connection starts and where it ends. I regularly log-in to a Linux-server from my Windows XP laptop with "PuTTY" and the Linux-server "connects" to the laptop with rsync to back it up. And Nagios runs across my whole network of Linux and Windows machines to check if they are still alive (using "ping").

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
