Adam,
I'm sure you are going to get alot of feedback on this one. I think Samba
is definitely the way to go. I started with a Win 2000 PDC and then
switched to Samba. My network is much more stable now. I used to have to
reboot my main NT box at least once a day. It was almost like windows had
a memory leak or something. I've had the routing functions moved to Linux
for about a month now and am just getting going with Samba as the PDC. The
server plugs away, with the CPU usage never getting above about 40%. This
same hardware was maxed out when it had win 2k server on it.
Here is an article that convinced me:
