PHP Code:



Samba versions supporting Windows7 Domain Logon  
Support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 using Samba Domain Controllers has been added to the following versions:  
 
Samba 3.4 or later  
Samba 3.3.5 or later  
Samba 3.3.2, 3.3.3 and 3.3.4 (with NOTES) 
Samba 3.2.12 or later

I want to know that what is mean by "With NOTES".

I am not sure what those NOTES means but the 3.4 version should support both windows xp and windows 7

the best way would be to leave the old samba installed and just stop it.

You can then get the new samba and install it to some custom location: /usr/local/samba for example. You can run it from there independently and keep it if you like it
