Depends on what your client machines are. Win95/98 go with
SAMBA-2.0.7. I think 2.0.7 can be a PDC for NT4.0 workstations too.

If you have Windows 2000 machines you are stuck with Samba-TNG wich is
alpha code. For testing purposes I have got samba-tng-2.5 up and
running and it seems to work enough for logon and roving user
profiles, which 2.5.3 does not. Explorer dumps core, though, if I try
to change file ownerships (i.e. something goes wrong when it tries to
get the users/groups from samba server). I hear password change does
not work. There's probably more.

With 10 or more clients I think you are in for a hard time telling
people what they can and cannot do depending on what works with your
version of samba-tng. Stay with the production version if at all
possible.
