We're running a CentOS 5 Samba server in our local town hall, mostly
Linux clients, but also the odd XP machine, with a simple configuration:
one open public share, then a series of protected shares.

Until now, folks seem to appreciate the setup as "vachement rapide"
(something like : furiously fast).
I have to add that standard servers like Samba, Apache, MySQL, NFS, ...
never (ever) gave me headaches with CentOS. That's why I'm using this
fine distro.
