Things have gone pretty smoothly so far with 8.04 until I tried to share my /data folder with samba for use by windows PCs.
Did the right click share folder menu selection and was told samba was not installed, dialog offered to install it, asked for password and samba seems to now be running when I look at system->administration->services.
Problem is when I try to create the share, I get a "you need to be administrator to do this error" but I see no way to get root privilege with this dialog.
I've been around the Linux block more than a few times and can do it manually, but this is IMHO a big bug compared to 6.06 samba setup which was the easiest one I've ever set up.
--wally.
