I'm useing pine, but there is also elm, mutt etc. Take a look into serie N
on the SusE-cdroms, there are several mailclients.

I can probably second-guess the answer to this next

There are several webbrowsers too. For example lynx, links or w3m are
working fine.

There are also several ftp-servers and clients. See also serie n on the
cdroms.

  Next, is there a way I can mount a FAT32 Windows

Yes, the following command should work:

mount /dev/[fat32-partition] [mountpoint] -t vfat

Take a look into /etc/fstab, there are all partitions and there
mountpoints listed that you can mount (SusE detects this during
installation). For more infos see

man fstab

Setup samba on your linuxbox, that works fine. I can help you with the
installation if your configuration is not to heavy.
