Another one: One of our NT servers that provided SMB and Atalk file
services was upgraded to NetBSD 1.4.1 running Samba 2.0.5b (built from
package) and Netatalk-asun2.1.4 (compiled out of the box). The whole
lot (4 disks, ~28 GB) and two other *nix servers (another 9 GB) is backed
up to a Tandberg SLR5 (4 GB uncompressed) by Amanda (built from package).
The machine runs seti@home to chew up some of the redundant CPU power (PPro
200) and still is faster than it was with NT before.
Given the problems I see on netatalk and amanda lists NetBSD looks like a
premier server platform of choice: Any software that was conceived with
more than one *nix in mind will build and run on it.
My 2 Pfennig,
