My experience is similar, with the old P133, RH 7.3 still one of the most reliable machines on the network (after the CPU fan was upgraded 4 years ago). The machine has been running for 5.5 years, I think... I am of course looking forward to the WINS replication functionality in Samba4, but I've had more trouble from my 'rudundent' DNS servers than the little WINS server has ever given me.
