[KLUG Members] Networking - Linux - Win98 - Mac OSX

I'm considering getting an I-Book.(More for the experience of using than
for the status).  I have a home network using Samba to link my Linux Box
(dual boot ; Suse 8.1 & BSWare 8.0) to two Win 98 first edition boxes.
If I add a I-Book to this how do I get it into the network?  Mac OSX has
these protocols:

	File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
	Web Sharing (HTTP) ( believe this to be Apache Web Server)
	Secure Shell (SSH)
	Windows File Sharing (SMB - Mac OS X 10.2 and later)

The windows file sharing sounds like a Samba server, but I'm already
running a Samba Server. These would conflict, I think.  Web sharing
sounds promising to work with both the other OS's, but I worry about
security.  SSH, probably the best bet, but on one hand I've never used
SSH, although I've seen it used at KLUG meetings, And on the other hand,
I have no idea if Win 98 can use the SSH.

Any views or ideas are welcome and appreciated.  Thanks
