Ok, while I'm usually more comfortable installing an RPM or DEB package and having the package maintainer handle all the details for me - I don't get a choice here.
The latest Ubuntu 12.04 package is the Alpha18 release. So, I've compiled my own copy of Samba4.01 - and surprise, surprise, it went well. So the crux of the question is: Where should I install it to. [What directory.] The Wiki notes that it will go to [/usr/local/samba] by default. While this is probably more a Debian/Ubuntu question - it probably makes as much sense to ask here, vs the Ubuntu folks. I suspect there's a bunch of you who are experienced on Ubuntu and who might be able to point me to somewhere that might clarify this question for me, or offer their own experience/advice. So, again - the install by default is to [usr/local/samba] Is leaving the default a good idea? If not, why and where should I install to to avoid issues later. And as long as we're on the subject - any advice to make my long term experience better, having compiled my own vs. a package install?
