[Samba] samba version to use on CentOS?

[scott_stone at trendmicro.com]

it's Fedora EPEL which is the enterprise repository.. ie, Fedora packages specifically ported to work on CentOS.  It used to be part of the fedora mirror but now it's its own thing, at least on mirrors.kernel.org.  Turns out, however, that both versions of samba are part of the CentOS 5 base repo.

If you want Windows 7 support, you need Samba 3.3.x.

Which Fedora repo?  I found that FC6 RPM's usually installed OK on 
RedHat RHEL5.x but anything above was likely to need a newer glibc or 
libc (or something like that.)
