Summary

In this chapter, we were introduced to the GNU/Linux distribution that we will work on as a base throughout the book. We got a quick overview of the Debian installation process and some specific operating system configurations that are needed to prepare it for the Samba 4 network services. In the next chapter, we will learn how to provide the Samba 4 Server we just installed as Active Directory Domain Controller for our network. So, we can start to use some of the many features with which Samba 4 software provides us.
