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? -b -----Original Message----- From: Paul To: plug@lists.phillylinux.org Sent: 12/24/02 12:03 Subject: Re: FW: [PLUG] SAMBA Server 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. ________________________________________________________________________ _ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug _________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug
