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.
