Yes, I would concur with that, I have samba setup here, and the performance has been great, I did some tests with a 16mb zip file I made for the tests...
copied it to and from the linux box (8.1, 2.4.13-9kernel) and it was very responsive, and that was on my crappy Ppro200 system, which is also running postfix and httpd and others for my home network.. the 16mb file copied in the same or less time then I had copying it to and from windows box's on the network, (my girlfriends computer) So I can see nothing wrong with its performance. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jose M.

Recent benchmarks on that very same version of Samba by Ziff-Davis people (Cnet and the like) report that Samba EXCEEDS Win2K and WinXP in xfer speeds.
