Ubuntu (Edgy Eft) seems to be stuck at 3.0.22. Which is one of the reasons I 
elected not to move to Ubuntu servers - when I first examined the possibility 
they were stuck on 3.0.14 for the longest time. Also CUPS, the other major 
component I need for supporting Windows clients, on Ubuntu is stuck at 1.2.4, 
whereas I run 1.2.7 on Gentoo.

Do the Sarge releases from the Samba team work properly with this (or any) 
version of Ubuntu?
