very basically speaking TNG is HEAD + nt pdc support.

each one has its different uses. if you have tried the production version fo
samba, there were only two daemons, smbd and nmbd. while this is perfectly
ok, but say you only want a particular functionality in samba. you'd have to
enable all the daemons. but now, you only have to enable what you use, nt
all of htem.
