My high school computer lab has a Samba file server, currently running SuSE Linux 9.3; over the summer, I plan to wipe out the hard drives and install SuSE Linux 10.0; with this in mind, I have just downloaded the latest Samba, and I was struck by the tremendous difference between the relative sizes of samba-3.0.5 and samba-3.0.22. 6,413,555 samba-3.0.5-0.1.i586.rpm 10/01/2004 04:54
