    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: relatively easy to set up, NFS compatibility

    Weaknesses: Documentation, compatibility

    Overall Evaluation: SnapOS 4 is not compatible w/ NTLMv2. This fact is relatively hard to find. There seem to be some compatibility issues as well. I was not able to copy some files created on a Mac to the snap server that our solaris systems running samba 3.0.10 and our windows machnes were able to handle w/ no problem. I also don't like the documentation - all the information I wanted was available somewhere, between the knowledgebase, other locations on the web site, and the online and PDF docs, but I found it hard to find anything but the most simple-minded explanations. The online help system is better than the PDF Administrator Guide.
