Ubuntu (Edgy Eft) seems to be stuck at 3.0.22. Which is one of the reasons I elected not to move to Ubuntu servers - when I first examined the possibility they were stuck on 3.0.14 for the longest time. Also CUPS, the other major component I need for supporting Windows clients, on Ubuntu is stuck at 1.2.4, whereas I run 1.2.7 on Gentoo. Do the Sarge releases from the Samba team work properly with this (or any) version of Ubuntu?
