You would probably be better creating a DC for authentication (two
would be better) and Unix domain server for the print and file server.

Are you trying to start a flame war :-)
What one person will recommend, another
will say is rubbish, it is all down to you.
What I can say is that you cannot create a DC on Centos etc with the OS
Samba packages, you would have to use the Sernet packages or compile
Samba yourself.
