[Samba] Migarting an NT domain to a Fedora Samba 3 domain

I have an NT domain, and I DON'T want to go to AD, and I DO want to move 
off NT4 to Linux for my servers.

I have set up a Fedora Core 2 server in my domain.  The domain recognizes 
it and it the other servers (oddly enough I am having some, but not 
complete printer problems.  Well thta is a separate question)

My plan is:

Run Fedora as a BDC.
Take down my NT PDC (I have an NT BDC btw)
Upgrade the Fedora to PDC
Bring up another Fedora server as a BDC

But the graphic tool in Fedora does not support these activities.  I am not 
a UN*X person.  Never found the time. I am a protocols developer.  So I 
need some graphic tools and wish to stay away fromVI and .conf files.

Pointers to instructions and tools are greatly appreciated!

Oh, I also want to move my Fedora PDC to the same IP address and even 
hostname as my NT PDC.  Will save a lot of external problems.
