SAMBA4 on the Raspberry Pi

If you have ordered your Raspberry Pi recently you'll get the 512M version,
that one should work much better then the 256M version, cause the memory is
a bottleneck in mine. Don't run X11 on it if you can avoid it, that gives
you faster response time. I installed webmin to get a easy way to
administer the box, however, there isn't a module for SAMBA4 yet, but you
can administer much else with it.

Good luck!
