I help my old school out with their computers and i currently have a 
Win NT4 server with Win95 clients.  I also have one Red Hat Linux 
7.1 Server running Squid, DNS and NAT for the internet.  I want to 
turn the Win NT4 server into another Linux server hopefully running 
a Red Hat or a Suse version.  The system has to be able to cope 
with logins from Win 95 clients, deal with the profiles we currently 
use (a config.pol file in netlogon) and provide tight file security 
(something we currently do not have with NT4!).  From my 
experiments with Samba I believe it can do this but is there 
anything important I should know.  The network admin there is 
looking at Win2k but I want to provide him with reasons to go for 
linux.  Also, as a side-point - is it possible to tie network cards 
together to provide greater bandwidth by doing load balancing or 
similar?

Thanks in advance,
Alex Brett
