This is all very well and good Michael, but what if you only have one 
computer ?

Microsoft recognised this and produced SBS, there are entire Linux 
distro's being built around this idea (Clearos, SME), are they doing 
wrong, or should the wiki now reflect this reality ?

What would help is if winbindd on the DC could be made to work more like 
it does on a domain member i.e. allow setting of ranges
