Yes: It's almost too damn new.  Unless you need the capabilities Samba
2.2.x has over Samba 2.0.9, you should be running Samba 2.0.9 until the
2.2.x tree has seen more testing (unless, of course, you've been testing
it yourself for a while).

Beyond that... it works great on the systems I have at home.  The ability
to change file permissions from the Windows GUI rocks :)

You'll thank yourself.  One of the most problematic boxes at work is the
WinNT file server...
