Hello, My IT department has implemented a samba PDC and now we are taking flack for it. Can anyone help me out with some good justifications for doing it this way vs the Microsoft way?

Hello, Is anyone on this list in the Santa Cruz, California area, and available immediately for a short term project to configure two OpenSUSE 10.2 machines as PDC & BDC with SAMBA and OpenLDAP?
