RE: Debian -vs- Win95?
Samba is pretty easy and well-documented, if any problems occur, just mail them but I don't think samba will cause much trouble.

Re: Debian -vs- Win95?
Windows is a lot easier then Linux, however I think Linux is a lot better, specially when using it as a server. You'll need more time to get it running, but as soon as you got it running (properly) it'll cause much less problems!

I'll help with the kernel compilation, and cdrecord setup. I'm running an HP cdr on this box, using xcdroast, mostly. Any takers for the samba and mgetty?

Debian -vs- Win95?
We have bought a PC (AMD K7 Athlon with Hewlett-Packard CD recorder) to act as a server allowing people to copy their data on this server and record their CDs. We also want to attach our fax to this server and "use it as a printer" from other PCs in the net. Should I, Instal Windows 9x (easy to install and the software for the HP recorder will probably work under Windows) or Install Debian with samba, mgetty-fax and cdrecord. (I have never configured none of this applications.) ? If I install Debian everything should work fine, otherwise my colleagues will "ask" me to install Windows. -- .'/,-Y" "~-.
