I would like to see diskdrake and DrakX have another checkbox for acl 
support as an option for those filesystems that support acls 
(ext2/ext3/XFS).

Stew commented to me privately that acls break LSB compliance, as does 
noatime. So, since noatime is there already, either there is no reason 
not to add acl, or something needs to be done (dialog informing the user 
that the optoin breaks LSB-compliance) for both.

Regardless, those people wanting a file-server appliance in a windows 
network would be best served by having the acl option easily available 
(I was going to ask for it to be the default, but I guess it can't be :-().

At present, Mandrake Linux 9.0 is probably the best choice for putting 
linux into a windows network (the kind with a windows domain controller, 
or Active Directory), whether as a desktop or as a file/print server. 
ACL support more easily would make it more attractive.
