GNU, GPL, Open Source "The Open Source community's answer is to ignore Microsoft's incredible technological lead - because it is proprietary and not a standard - and instead focusses on their own cool thing and self-gratifying cool features, because they think they can do better (which is where the ignorance combined with ego comes in)."

RE: Best choice?

My environment is very unix focued with most development being linux or Solaris based.

I use samba on linux and Solaris for a file server and the Windows clients have no problem seeing it.

Samba does not handle Active Directories right now.

My linux client can get to all the network shares at work. Why? None of them are Active Directory based. No, I do not go all command-line either. I use LinNeighborhood.

I have no idea if Macs support Active Directories on either the client or server side.
