I need to have a server built and ready to install by this weekend,
and I'm
trying to decide whether to use the customer's copy of Windows 2000
Server,
Seriously?

or Ubuntu or Centos. I think Ubuntu would have a newer version of
samba.
One can always build from source.
The problem is, for this one server, about 20 users hammer MS Access
databases all day, and samba seems to have had issues with Access in
the
past. Is that still the case?
Access has issues. What version? Most problems seem to boil down to
file perms. I rarely had problems with Access files on FreeBSD/Samba
platforms.
The old server is dying, and they own Windows 2000 Server so it won't
cost
them $$ to continue using the OS,
You'd best check the licensing. They most certainly don't "own" W2K
server.
but it cannot take advantage of newer
hardware/technologies, so its slower.
Thanks for any info...
