Hi Paul,

sorry to come that late, but I have seen the changes just now when
comparing tramp.texi according to the recent changes from today.

I disagree. Samba does not necessary run on server machines only, it
runs also on desktop machines. And there's also MS Windows; most
machines equipped with this are not servers :-) "... to any host ..."
seems to be proper wording to me.

Furtheron, Samba does not run only on GNU/Linux. I use it myself on
HP-UX machines, and I connect Tramp to Samba running there. That's why
I've used neutral "Unixes".

Finally, I would like to thank you for all other corrections to the
Tramp manual! As a non-native speaker, I'm grateful for this.

Best regards, Michael.
