It is recommended that you will 8implement the design pattern exactly as it appears, then after the installation has 9been proven to work make any changes or modifications needed at your site. 10</p><p> 11The examples have been tested with Red Hat Fedora Core 2, Novell SUSE Linux Professional 129.3 and Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9. The principals of implementation 13apply to all Linux and UNIX systems in general, though some system files and tools will 14be different and the location of some Samba file locations will be different since these 15are determined by the person who packages Samba for each platform. 16</p><p> 17If you are deploying Samba is a mission-critical environment, or if you simply want 18to save time and get your Samba network operational with minimal fuss, there is the 19option to purchase commercial, professional, Samba support. Information regarding 20commercial support options may be obtained from the commercial 21<a class="ulink" href="http://www.samba.org/samba/support/" target="_top">support</a> pages from 22the Samba web site. 23</p><div class="toc"><p><b>Table of Contents</b></p><dl><dt><span class="chapter"><a href="simple.html">1.
