I like to think all my os and boxes should work in the best synergy
possible.
Right now this prove to be an Win2000 AD controller.
I will tho try 2.2.X and see what's possible.
I'm a bit confused in what is under development and what finished.

In the end of the day, there is nothing better that turn on your
favorite os.
It boots in a few seconds and you know every corner of it.
Working with Win2000, Cluster, San, High END AIX stuff
makes you dream to the days of simple working boxes.
