One thing for sure... Samba would be a lot more stable than NT 3.51 :)

We have two servers that run Samba where I work. One is a Mac OS X Server
boxen (running a bastardized version of 4.4BSD) running Samba 2.0.7
without too many hitches. In our case, security isn't that huge of a
problem, but we have the people authenticate through a ``guest'' account
(well... not quite... but that's something completely different)

We are the client machines are Mac (which use the AppleTalk File Protocol
with TCP/IP) and Windows NT 4.0 SP4+ and Windows 2000 machines. So we
don't have too much of an issue with encrypted/unencrypted passwords.

One definitely resource I would recommend is O`Reilly's Samba book.
