Subject: Re: Samba config not working
Hey Keith,

Before you get too far down the road with your new server, I'd highly
recommend using CentOS (RHEL clone) instead of FC if you're looking for high
reliability and low maintenance. The bleeding edge (FC) can be fun for a
while, but it gets old rather quickly. FC is fine for workstations, but
CentOS is better suited for servers. FWIW.
