In a contribution to the Samba alternative discussion: I have heard on beachmark tests, Samba, however, is much faster than NFS. In fact, as I understand this person recommends using SAMBA over NFS even in pure Linux environment for this reason alone. Does anyone know otherwise? Curtis

I used to have a full-blown Windows network set up at home with 5 PCs. As I started converting them to Linux I would set up Samba on each machine so they could still talk with the other Windows machines. At this point, I only have ONE fulltime Windows box running, and that's my local PDC/NAT router
