I did install webmin, and unfortunately I think where I got sidetracked. It's instructions fall short of the steps I need to join these boxes together..

I was directed to several how tos and after many hours of trying to figure things out, my windows AD/Kerberos faulted and my network went down, and yes I have backups... I'll get it fixed, but I'd like to figure out what went wrong, and how something like this could happen. My final goal is to replace all/most of my windows servers with Linux equivalents, and although I'm competent in Windows, I am little better than a newbie when it comes to Linux. I've reached the stage where I can really break something if I try.. J I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss my situation with someone who has experience and can possibly identify what steps I need and what I should avoid in the future...
