De ontwikkelaars van Samba zijn druk bezig en de eerste release candidate van versie 3.0.21 staat al weer op de planken. Samba draait op onder andere Linux-servers en is in staat om file- en/of printer-services aan Windows-clients te bieden. Voor de documentatie over het hoe en wat van Samba kan je een kijkje nemen op deze pagina. De release notes zien er als volgt uit:
