[Jason Williams]

Hello.

Here are a few places to start:

http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/samba-pdc.php

http://www.linux-mag.com/cgi-bin/printer.pl?issue=2002-02&article=samba

Those links should get you going.
For the most part, it wont be to difficult to get the samba server up and 
running and acting as a PDC. It will take some testing and tweaking, but it 
should get you up and running pretty quickly.

I run a PDC here at our company that hosts 40+ users who are all on Win2k. 
I've heard that XP can pose problems with samba, but im not sure exactly 
what the problem is.

I hope this helps.
