I have been disappointed that I can't use Linux+Samba as an
alternative to a Win9x or NT server for our GP medical practice.
The software we need runs in win9x.
We crave stability. But Linux+Samba is just much slower as a file
server.
It's normally quite fast: are you running over a
dial-up network, requiring you to adust MTU's for
speed???
If not, try ``socket options = TCP_NODELAY'', which
adapts server TCPs to a MS feature (:-)) and produces considerable
speed increases...
