It was good enough for me to easily install on a dusty 586 and use as a file/print server at work. As a reference, it's too skimpy. I got more mileage out of the Sams' Debian Unleashed doorstop, particularly the Samba section. Still haven't gotten to the point where I can just totally rely on man pages, I guess. ;)
