2003-06-21 Thread marvc
I need to get some feedback on some good reasons for incorporating Samba into a corporate environment that runs mostly Microsoft, but also Sun, and some linux systems. Can anyone here that have used Samba for more than a few months elaborate on some of their reasons for choosing to use Samba?
