[Samba] Where can I find Windowz vs Samba performance Tests
I need to present some performance stats and was looking for some good diagrams of samba vs windows. -- Thanks, Jake Johnson jake@plutoid.com ______________________________________________________________________ Plutoid - http://www.plutoid.com - Shop Plutoid for the best prices on rings, earrings, necklaces, diamonds and other fine jewelry.

That said, I do have is this very nice story and graph from ITWeek: http://www.itweek.co.uk/News/1144312 http://www.itweek.co.uk/ITWeek/itw_graph_1144289.jsp "Overall, it now performs 2.5 times faster than Windows Server 2003." However, most people don't run Samba for graph-able performance changes. They run Samba because that's what fits their choice of platforms, their need for stability, and immense flexibility. The performance boost is a very nice byproduct. ;-) Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett abartlet@pcug.org.au Manager, Authentication Subsystems, Samba Team abartlet@samba.org Student Network Administrator, Hawker College abartlet@hawkerc.net http://samba.org http://build.samba.org http://hawkerc.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
