samba-2.2.2 and Linux 2.2.20 replacing Win2K?

Hi there,
I was wondering if you could give me some pointers as to how to get rid of the
spooge of microsoft from our office, and have samba-2.2.2 assuming file sharing
duties (read this as the Boss isn't happy with all the win2K crashes on the
NIC's)
The machine is a Pent-III 850Mhz w/256MB, dual NIC's, and 2 HD's (IDE) with
/dev/hda1 being where the OS is stored, and /dev/hdb1 is a 19GB drive where
the files will reside (running kernel 2.2.20, on Caldera OpenLinux 3.1).
Here is the current permissions on the shares in question:
drwxrwsrwx 7 drivef dbsapps 1024 Nov 30 04:54 drivef
drwxrwsrwx 8 drivev dbsapps 1024 Nov 30 17:22 drivev
Now, dbsapps is a group in which all users will be able to write to either
/home/drivef or /home/drivev (I used chmod 2777 -R /home/drivef and
/home/drivev)
here is my smb.conf
# Samba config file created using SWAT

force create mode = 0777
directory mask = 0777
force directory mode = 0777
[temp]
comment = Temporary File Space
path = /tmp
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
This machine will ONLY be used for file serving at the moment, and I was
wondering
if you could give me additional pointers to improve the performance of the
machine?
(it will be used to hold database files, html, text files, etc). I know I
will need to add
users to /etc/passwd and with smbpasswd and gpasswd to make things work, but
am I missing something here?
I really want Linux and Samba-2.2.2 to shine and out perform win2K, so any
suggestions
that could be provided would help.
