Pardon me for asking this general question with regards to Samba but I've been searching and haven't found a source that would answer my question. Is there some site, list, etc, that lists companies, schools, etc, who have volunteered information that they use Samba in their day-to-day operations? This would be of great interest to us as it would show Linux/Samba to be a viable solution instead of going exclusively with a Windows-server-based setup. TIA, Marion D.

That is the linux counter website. I was a student in Anne Arundel County Public Schools until this last year, and the majority of the linux installs were rouge installs for individual computer labs, but they were much better at handling the load than the main servers. I would try contacting the people at the Linux Counter project and ask them to help you get more specialized data. Chris Shafer> TIA, > Marion D.
