Well, NT-3.5x+ has had a POSIX subsystem and you can run the POSIX commands from the telnet command line. For an editor, I use vi even on W2K. I just use doskey to setup similar alias that I use in FreeBSD. You can also setup your W2K machine to accept lpr from a Unix system. I can't imagine adding samba to a fine Unix machine just to share a printer.
