 <h3>Samba4</h3>
 
-<p>What is Samba 4 meant to accomplish?  In simplest terms, Samba 4 is an ambitious, yet achievable, reworking of the Samba code.  Major features for Samba 4 will include: protocol completeness, extreme testability, non-POSIX backends, fully asynchronous internals, flexible process models, auto-generated RPC infrastructure, and flexible database architecture.</p>
