Donderdag is er een nieuwe versie verschenen in de stabiele 3.4-tak van Samba. Dit programma draait op Unix-, BSD- en Linux-servers en is een opensource implementatie van het SMB/CIFS netwerk protocol. Sinds versie 3 kan Samba file- en print-services aan Windows-clients aanbieden en is in staat om als Domain Controller te fungeren. Uitgebreide documentatie, inclusief praktische how-to's voor een iets oudere versie, kunnen op deze pagina worden gevonden. Het changelog van deze release ziet er als volgt uit:
