Have you had a look at SME Server?  www.contribs.org

This distro is based on Centos (RHEL).  It is a real turnkey distro and 
installs out of the box ready to configure via a web interface.  You 
never need to even look at the commandline.  Setup of Samba as a PDC is 
just a matter of plugging in the workgroup name and checking a box sayin 
you want SME to be a PDC.
