RE: FW: [PLUG] SAMBA Server


oh, the speed of the network card is very important.  My samba box has a
10/100 card (which runs at 100) and could serve to 4-5 machines on a 10BaseT
network at the full 10Mbps with only about 30-40% CPU utilization (P133).

Reading MP3's off of the machine onto another computer uses almost no CPU
power.

Is this machine going to be used as a windows domain controler (and will
people authenticate to this machine for their windows logon?), will people
have home directories?

I would keep the data on a seperate partition or drive.

Speculation:

The network interface might be more important than CPU speed.  How much 
of a difference would it make to have a 100Mbps PCI card compared to a 
10Mbps ISA card?

Burning Linux and Samba onto a bootable CD-ROM would be cool.  You could

move the data drive to any PC, boot with the disc and BAM!, an instant 
Samba server.
