Hi
OK, I can understand that but what doesn't make sense is that those who
use separate DC's and fileservers chooose 4.0.6 and 3.6.x respectively
and almost exclusively. If 4.0.6 is the latest stable version, then why
not go with 4.0.6 for the DC and 4.0.6 file server? What does the 3
series have that the 4 series doesn't that makes it a better file
server?
Cheers,
Steve
