I have some 130 users here hanging mostly NT4ws (sp4) but a few win95 (and
no win98 ) and a couple of macs using Dave. At any one time there are
typically 80 active logins. The PDC is a RH 5.2 running samba on a PII-350
with 256meg ram. Load based performance does not seem to be a problem, that
is things don't slow down significantly at full load compared to early
morning when there are less people on.

However :
We dont store the main applications on the server, only data. ie MS Office
etc is installed locally on each PC.
We do have a couple of other (linux) servers doing some other tasks such as
mail, httpd, dhcp etc.

Have a look at my web site http://bioserve.latrobe.edu.au/samba/index.html
for a sample config file for 2.0.7 as a pdc.
