This is certainly not relevant, but what is the disadvantage of using Red
Hat as a server.  In my case, I am using Debian, so I am not partial to
Red Hat, however, the company I work for will be hopefully running their
databases on Red Hat, and I don't see any reason to push a different
distro over Redhat if that is what the vendor recommends.

This is probably a silly question, but doesn'tMacOS have an SMB client?
If not, how does it read files from an NT server?
