[Samba] Which Linux best suits Samba3?

[Tim Jordan]

I just tried installing Samba 3 rpm from samba.org on a fedora1 box and
it failed to install"

missing libcom_err.so.3

I take it Fedora is using a different set of libs.  Any advice on how to
resolve this or do I roll back to redhat 8 or 9?

I've been trying and trying to get samba 3 to work with Gentoo....no
joy!
