The history of civilization + demonstrates the fragile nature of freedom. It can be lost in a moment, + and once lost, the cost of recovering liberty can be incredible. The last + edition cover featured Alfred the Great who liberated England from the + constant assault of Vikings and Norsemen. Events in England that + that finally liberated the common people came about in small steps, but + the result should not be under-estimated. Today, as always, freedom and + liberty are seldom appreciated until they are lost. If we can not quantify + what is the value of freedom, we shall be little motivated to protect it. + + + + Samba-3 by Example Cover Artwork: The British houses + of parliament are a symbol of the Westminster system of government. This form + of government permits the people to govern themselves at the lowest level, yet + it provides for courts of appeal that are designed to protect freedom and to + hold back all forces of tyranny. The clock is a pertinent symbol of the + importance of time and place. + + + + The information technology industry is being challenged by the imposition of + new laws, hostile litigation, and the imposition of significant constraint + of practice that threatens to remove the freedom to develop and deploy open + source software solutions. Samba is a software solution that epitomizes freedom + of choice in network interoperability for Microsoft Windows clients. + + + + I hope you will take the time needed to deploy it well, and that you may realize + the greatest benefits may be obtained. You are free to use it in ways never + considered, but in doing so there may be some obstacles. Every obstacle that is + overcome adds to the freedom you can enjoy. Use Samba well, and it will serve + you well. + + + -- cgit
