Perhaps the dev people are justifiably proud of what they have created.  So
they want everyone to know what is running on the server.  But I agree with
the original poster that it is annoying having to explain to my users what
Samba is, what it does etc  Currently they look at me blankly when I say
things like "have you mapped the network drive"  (just to give you an idea
of my user populations IT knowledge!)
