Good stuff. Not really anything new from the YC philosophy of business, but nice to hear it from someone in the trenches. BTW- welcome back BioGeek!


Mistake #8. Causing unneeded confusion with the name:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_%28software%29


Not sure this would be much of a problem with consumers. How many people know about open source reverse engineered implementations of file sharing protocols?

It might even be a plus. Samba is a successful project, perhaps they can milk some of that goodwill from the subconsciouses of those who do know.
