Peachtree 2007 and samba?

I am in the process of updating Peachtree 2002 to 2007. The first
problem I am tackling is that I am using Linux and samba for my file
server and Peachtree 2007 requires an install on the file server. Has
anyone been able to make Peachtree 2007 work with a linux file server?
This set up has been working flawlessly for 2 and a half years so I
really don't want to switch back to a windows based file server.

Thanks,

Bryan

I set up 2002 on a Linux server using Win2000 Pro for workstations. We
mapped the drive and it worked great. Maybe I got lucky. :-)

Well, everyting works great until you try to install 2007; then your
problems will start coming.
I also have problems with 2007 and Peachtree Support sucks big time.
I'll be interested to make it work. Maybe we could join forces.

We are a tech support company and are having the same issue with PT
2007 and a Linux Server. Has anyone had any luck in making this
configuration work?

Thank you,

Brenda
