    Just when I perfected the old samba, they release a new version. Now I have to learn all those dance steps again.

    Shit.

      In the spirit of GNU/Linux, I think GINA should be prefixed with the initials of the state where the lead developer originated... Virginia.

      But seriously. If you think AD is written in VB, I've got a GNU/Bridge to sell you.

    Having the Active Directory support is really a bug feature

    Now, was this a Freudian slip or what...

    Gee and this is from and AC with no proof or benchmarks. Well that settles it, Samba RC3 is officially "broken and horribly slow."

    Glad this was modded up to +5 Informative so we all know to never use Samba 3.x. :rolleyes:

    What the hell are you talking about? Do you really want your Windows computers and your Unix computers replicating with each other? Right in the server room? When your boss walks in and sees two Intel boxes replicating right there on the server room floor, just what are you going to tell him?

    And just what will the offspring of this Windows/Unix replication be like? Will its NT kernel be able to handle Unix-style system calls? Or will the offspring be a penguin with Bill Gates' face?

    No matter how I look at this, I just cannot see that this "replication" can be a good thing. You're going to create an abomination that will bring only misery to the world. Keep your computers on opposite sides of the room, with very short power cables, or you will doom us all.

    /me goes off to look up "replication."
