I have a SuSe 9.1 Pro box using it as a file server using Samba. Works
great, much faster than my win2k box ever was. At work I have a 9.2 box
doing the same thing as well as being a small web and ftp server all
work great together. No need to go for a full server unless that is just
what you want.
