Re: Version To Use? (2)

tall the base files and use apt-get or dselect to add whatever additional packages you need. Version 2.2 is slightly smaller, but not enough to justify its installation, IMHO. Linux Central has the 3.0 CD set for $14.95, which to me beats downloading several gigabytes over a modem connection. Bob -

tions. For an office environment where you want to minimize downtime due to disk failure, avoid dealing with backups, avoid the politics of people bashing linux for those times when the network is unavailable it is better to place a dedicated appliance that is small, quiet, and capable. Use your computer system for the things that can only be done by a computer system. Install linux on that and let it show how well it can do the job. Bob msg13570/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: samba question *Solved*

2002-11-22 Thread Bob Nielsen
Actually you probably only needed to remove the rc2.d link, as that is the one which Debian uses by default. It might be better to leave one of the symlinks in place (under a runlevel that you don't use). That way, if you upgrade samba in the future the symlinks will not be reinstalled. Bo
