Mandrake if you want bleeding edge and best user group support, SuSE if
solidity is paramount. If you need this for an additional machine to
network with your OS/2 machine, choose SuSE 8.2 or whichever Mandrake
last had v2.x samba (9.2 or 9.1 - I don't remember which was last).
Newer distros have as yet unsolved samba 3 bugs that mean peer won't
work.
