<h2>What is Samba?</h2>
-<p>As the front page at <a href="/samba/">samba.org</a> says, "Samba is an
Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless file and print services
to SMB/CIFS clients." Samba is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS
implementations, and allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and
Windows-based clients.</p>
-
-<p><a href="/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/">Samba-3 by Example</a> explains
further, saying:</p>
-
-<blockquote> Samba is software that can be run on a platform other than
-Microsoft Windows, for example, UNIX, Linux, IBM System 390, OpenVMS, and other
-operating systems. Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is installed on the host
-server. When correctly configured, it allows that host to interact with a
Microsoft
-Windows client or server as if it is a Windows file and print
-server.</blockquote>
-
-<p>From <a href="/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/">The Official Samba
HOWTO</a>:</p>
-
-<blockquote>The goal behind the project is one of removing barriers to
-interoperability.</blockquote>
+<p>As the front page at <a href="/samba/">samba.org</a> says: <p>
+ <b>Samba is the standard Windows interoperability suite of programs for
Linux and Unix.</b>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Since <a href="/samba/docs/10years.html">1992</a>, Samba has provided
secure, stable and fast
+ file and print services for all clients using the SMB/CIFS protocol,
such as all versions of DOS
+ and Windows, OS/2, Linux and many others.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Samba is an important component to seamlessly integrate Linux/Unix
Servers and Desktops
+ into Active Directory environments. It can function both as a domain
controller or as a
+ regular domain member.
+</p>
<p>Samba is a software package that gives network administrators flexibility
and freedom in terms of setup, configuration, and choice of systems and
equipment. Because of all that it offers, Samba has grown in popularity, and
continues to do so, every year since its release in 1992.</p>
