      However the company that makes the software could care less about Windows client licensing, and as a franchisee they have zero options on using this software.

      Of course they don't care, the responsibility for that falls 100% onto the end client to ensure that they have properly licensed their environment. The vendor has zero responsibility here.

      Reminds me of a PBX appliance vendor that shipped their "server" with Windows XP Pro as the OS. ;)

      Hrm, fast-clone. Probably time to try out a Btrfs based file server at home.

      It's good stuff.

      Yeah, I know brtfs is the way to go, I just haven't tried it out yet myself. Starting out on IRIX with XFS back in the day makes me a too nostalgic.

      I still use XFS for everything.

      When will be the right time to switch to btrfs then? We know it's been stable for long enough that it's becoming the default in a number of distributions now, but has it really been battle tested well enough yet?

      Also, should we maybe make another thread for the btrfs discussion?

      The answer here is you do not switch. You install a distro letting it do its native thing by default and less you have an over arcing huge reason to override defaults. So you will get this when you install a new system that now has it as a default.

      openSuse, for example, has had it as default for two years.

      Really though, I prefer XFS for anything that isn't a storage machine. VMs need something mature, stable and light. XFS does that well.

      But does your preference mean that you will override a default installs choice just because that is your preference?

      Using anything but default should have very clear reasons because the first time somebody besides you have to troubleshoot it there will be big problems.

      I would often, yes actually. XFS is not like an odd, unsupported option. It's just not the default. It's still completely core to openSuse's design. They simply had to pick which one they were going to use when someone did not choose one or the other and they opted for extra features over lean design for those that don't know which they want, which I think makes sense. Just like CentOS opts for the simplicity of using root for administration instead of sudo, but makes it super easy to enable sudo. It's not default, but it's fully supported. They just had to choose something as default.

      Samba 4 and samba-tool make getting up and running with AD on Linux pretty quick and easy.

      Sounds nice, I'll need to make time to look at this.
