Hi. Ubuntu 8.10 is bad idea if you will be connecting Windows 7 into domain, because of old Samba version. Samba 3.4.x or 3.5.x is recommended for Win7. Wait for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (next month) if you want Ubuntu. -- Vladimir Psenicka -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
