[mdlug-discuss] IBM T22 Ubuntu 6.10 Install

With our new server, which I had to put in place in a day after the old 
one took a major dump, we have been getting some periodic hard lock 
situations. Turns out that the pre-compiled multi-processor version of 
Samba that came with the distro doesn't really like Intel Dual-Core 
processors.

Luckily, it takes a good two weeks before a real problem occurs. So, 
when I have had a few minutes free, I have been building another server 
to scoot our filesharing onto. When that's all done, I'll be able to 
take some time, compile up a good Dual-Core CPU compatible version of Samba.
