I have a small LAN, a Win2000 server (2 NICs), and a few Win2000 Prof clients all in a Active Directory domain using NAT for clients internet connection. A couple of the client computers dual boot in either Win2000 Prof or Linux, but i have it to default load into Win2000 after 10 seconds. I want to be able to have the linux also be part of the LAN if a user chooses to use Linux over the Win2000 in the dual boot option. Is this possible? how do i set it up? the Win2000 prof users have home folders, roaming profiles, my documents redirected all from the Win2000 server. I want to keep this all the same even when a user chooses to use Linux over Win2000.

Open LDAP. See the Suse documentation also. Pretty sure their distro is fully AD configured. Solaris might be also out of the box but less documentation. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.

I'm pretty sure Xandros linux - business version - will give you all that out of the box http://www.xandros.com/products/bus... Catch is its not freeware. But its better priced and better value than XP pro nil
