Since nothing I've been able to do on FC3 seems to provide consistent samba service, and all the searches I've done indicate that FC3 doesn't support samba, which distro do most folks recommend that would provide the least painful transition? I've been on RH8, RH9, FC1, and FC2. I've dabbled with Mandrake for a while, and yddrasyle (sp?) years ago. Fundamentally, what I'm looking for is a simple server, with samba (shares/PDC), DNS, DHCP etc.
Any Linux distro should work for that. Mandrake has a pretty easy installer.
But what do you mean when you say FC3 doesn't "support" Samba? There are Samba packages available, they are part of the distribution.
