My first post and desperate. I currently run a Debian server that acts the Domain Controller for over 25 XP users. My servers been crashing and I'm fighting getting the thing to be stable. Because I was unable to update the kernel its caught between upgrades but we feel its hardware failure thats causing all the issues.
Anyway I'm not a linux guru by any means and installed a temporary system with Debian and VMWare Server (i had never heard of it and was suggested to install it). It's all up and running and installed a virtual Debian but can't get it to work. Does anyone know if there is an appliance available either Etch or Ubuntu that has been setup to allow XP clients to connect. I'm just desperate and need a solution ASAP to get our system at least stable while I poke away at the server.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
