Not necessarily. Look here first for Samba info:

Also note, the O'Reilly Using Samba 2nd ed. book is available online at no charge. 3rd ed. should be up soon.

How many Linux distros are there?

-TucknDar (August 13, 2008, 01:58 PM)

The quasi-official number is somewhere around 359.

However, recent scientific research now puts the number of Linux distros at 1.5 times the number of actual Linux users.
