[Samba] samba server dependents

[Gaiseric Vandal]

If you are starting with a clean machine, you can probably pick an OS 
distribution that already has Samba included.

A fairly recent version of Fedora Core Linux (12 or 13) should have 
samba bundled with it (along with OpenLDAP and kerberos.)   I would 
guess that most current Linux distros include Samba.   You would want 
something that has Samba 3.4.x or 3.5.x which are both being maintained 
and should support Windows 7.

Solaris and OpenSolaris include Samba 3.0.x, which is now at a dead 
end.   Compiling a newer version of Samba on Solaris can be a major 
challenge.
