[Samba] Samba 3.0 is WORKING

[Gabriel Matthews]

I can't elaborate, as it's more work than I'm willing to do.  The
comparison is purchasing licenses for Windows NT server, or upgrading to
2000/03 because we can't buy new NT licenses, etc.

! Can you elaborate on the $$$ savings? I would like to know.. for example,
! how much $$$ would be saved by using samba/linux as a server for an
! enterprise class business.

! talk in terms of $$ savings, downtime savings, config problems ..stufss like
! that. I'm running a small samba/linux web/file server for my dept and the
! only thing I can come out with is $$$ in terms of windows 2000 server
! licensing fees .. eg: USD10K for 15 users??
