Actually it's not just 95 that logs into 2.0 - NT4.0 workstations are
happy to use a samba pdc running 2.0.3a.  The advantage to those of us
using it in a production environment is that the 2.0 series is far better
documented than the 2.1 series (so far).  We've run both in test
environments and found 2.0.x to be, on the whole, a better solution for
our NT/Solaris/Linux network.
