RE: Linux as a "Windows" aware file server

We don't, but I have heard of several instances where people are using Samba
for their file server. You can even maintain an NT domain (it can act as a
Primary controller). It would save a TON of money for licenses and such.

Subject: Linux as a "Windows" aware file server


I have been reading up on Linux and started playing around with it.

I was wondering if anyone had considered or even tried, running Linux and
then using Samba to handle Windows workstations/files as a server in place
of Windows NT or 2000 Server ?

Could save a TON of money. I know that many folks have already made the
investment in Windows Server (or Novell) so that might be a tough sell, but
in our case, NO server other than the AS/400 (well and out Cobalt Qube 2
Linux based email server), would it be a reasonable choice (?)

Thanks !

Chuck
