Well, not sure. But in *my* admittedly limited Linux/Samba
experience trying to introduce Samba as an alternative to NT for
file serving is a joke. File copies went from seconds to minutes on
95/98, and at increased dramatically even when going NT -> Samba.
Samba's a great idea, and the way it allows you to get around some
licensing issues is cool, but, knowing what I know about it
(admittedly not a ton, especially since the man pages weren't enough
and I had to actually buy a book to help me get it up and running) I
wouldn't recommend it for any but the smallest offices where speed
wasn't really an issue. Maybe if I were a RCSE instead of an MCSE
I'd be able to squeeze more performance out of it.
