Subject: Re: TrueNAS vs Samba

Thanks Alexander,

Chat gave a laundry list. Interesting. You are light years ahead of
me. I just need a simple file share, mostly for backups. Once in a
while I need to share a document with my wife.

Some SMB history. In the old days I had a Linux box setup as LAMP. In
those days it was CentOS. My desktop was Win something. I connected
the Win box to the Linux box so I could remote edit PHP and test using a
browser. And I used the hosts files for DNS using non-routable domain
names.

Now I can use Visual Studio Code to remoter edit.

Keith
